Q20. Looking specifically at one area of the budget - ethics reform - the Governor says that the ethics reform measures included in the budget will create the strongest and most comprehensive ethics laws for public officials in the
nation. Critics say that there are large loopholes which will allow legislators to evade the intent of the law and profit from their office if they are looking to do that. Do you agree more with the Governors statement or more with
the critics?

Q23. Governor Cuomo threatened to hold up the budget, making it late for the first time since he took office, if legislators did not agree to all of his ethics proposals. But, in the end, he agreed to drop some measures in order to
get the budget passed on time. Do you think the Governor did the right thing or should he have held out for bigger changes?
