If you are going to send 1 million hunters to albany in camo, then send them armed and ready to over turn the existing administration and seat a new one.
If you are going to send that many men to albany, then send them under arms and ready to remove the existing governor, lt. governor and attny general. Install new interim leadership that will suspend and then disband both the assembly and the senate and restructure the boundaries of the state to end at the southern Westchester County line, and then within 24-48 hours the interim administration will revoke nyc's charter as a city within the state to allow it to act as either a free port or a district.
Schedule new elections within a 6 month period but in the interim have the newly seated government suspend and disband both the senate and the assembly, as above, then permanently disband the assembly. There is nothing in law that says we need two representative bodies and there is more than one state with only one; leave all representation at the local (county) level - there is nothing more transparent than local politics when the shades are up and with a new representation formula for who and how many represent a specific demographic area, leaving politics at the local level means any or all of those politicians would be instantly and immediately accessable to their constituency - which is exactly what they do not want (no more hiding in albany).
Install a administration that 'administers', not plays politics; heck, for that matter you can disband politicial parties and simply go with the common vote. just a thought.....
