There is energy and power in a crisis.
years flood
There's no such thing as a 100-year flood.
weather people political
Climate change is a controversial subject, right? People will debate whether there is climate change... that's a whole political debate that I don't want to get into. I want to talk about the frequency of extreme weather situations, which is not political.

I'm a harsh critic of the status quo.
new-york government boss
New York State is upside down and backwards; high taxes and low performance. The New York State government was at one time a national model. Now, unfortunately, it's a national disgrace. Sometimes, the corruption in Albany could even make Boss Tweed blush.
grandfather vinegar honey
As my Sicilian grandfather used to say, you get more flies with honey than with vinegar, right?

It's time for the people of the Empire State to strike back.
