A few post ago displayed the balance of power in the New York State Senate since the Democrats took over and it illustrated just how concentrated the power was in New York City.
Here is what it looked like prior to the flip. Where do you think upstate will stand?

Uhh, do you mean that the population sshould live where people aren't in areas where lines are drawn and and and...
C'mon stump. Lets here ya explain this.
The funny thing is, I'll bet he will try.
Laughable how with the Dems you lumped everyone from Long Island and Westchester in a pile with NYC senators. Yet with the GOP, you spread them all around the city area to make it look less lumpish. Intellectually dishonest, and you know it. If you were honest you would put all 13 downstate GOPers in a lump and repost.
Thank you for coming clean, PIV. The map clearly shows there are more downstate Republican Senators than upstate Republican Senators.
What a surprise, only one Republican Senator in Northern NY.
Stump Speech
Anon 10:21 - Exactly, I was going to say the same thing. Don't you love how PIV shoves the 8 or so Long Island Repubes into the ocean?
Like another dumb conservative, you assume a manipulated image will be enough to hide a falsehood.
All this to sow seeds of upstate/downstate resentment? you must be real proud of yourself.
I knew he would attempt to do that. No northern representation, yet he has an explanation for it. And if we don't see it, WE'RE dumb.
It is a brave new world.
Do we blame our schools?
Or is it the drinking water?
You're right Sump Speech, we're better off without representation.
How many State Senators actually represent an area that can be called Northern New York? District maps seem to indicate two, maybe three, but the districts seem to crosscut from North to South. This way, Northern New York is left represented by someone who lives in the southern area of their district.
Most representation is downstate, and your faulty assumption that other more rural senators would be better allies than urban New York based senators misses the point of true, regional representation.
Senators from Western New York, the Hudson River Valley, and the Southern Tier do not agree solely because they are not from New York City.
