On Monday, April 23rd NBC's popular show Heroes returns from a brief hiatus.  That same day also happens to be the 3rd annual Reform New York Day of Action.  It almost seems fitting that these two events would share the same day because sometimes it seems as if only a superhero could fix what's wrong with New York.

New York has some of the worst campaign finance laws in the nation, some of the most absurdly uncompetitive legislative district lines and our legislature has been called the most dysfunctional legislature in the union.  

New York's Governor Spitzer, who ran on a platform of reform in 2006, will make the keynote address at Reform NY Day 2007.  Hopefully, with his Gubernatorial powers to assist us we will be able to defeat dysfucntion and champion good government.  Click here to learn more about Reform  NY Day 2007.

So, I pose this question: what kind of "government reform super powers" can you think of?  Here are a few ideas:

• "Super Re-apportionment": the ability to draw compact, contiguous, AND competitive district lines.


• "Freedom of Information"-vision: the ability to see through opaque layers of government bureaucracy to see what's really happening in the statehouse and with your tax dollars.


• "Campaign Contribution Shrink-Ray": the ability to shrink campaign contribution limits and close loop-holes.
