State Gov & Accountability in Politics with NYS Senator Alessandra Biaggi

Let’s set the scene. You’re back in middle school and your friend Karen gets caught cheating on the social studies test (classic, Karen). What happens? The teacher, principal, and perhaps even Karen’s parents, hold Karen accountable for her actions and she is given an F on the test. Ouch. The process seems seamless though, right? An action associated with a result. That’s accountability. So how does this work in the political realm? Does it? And if it does work, how is accountability operated? We’ll give you a little hint - committees are a part of this puzzle. We discussed accountability at length with NYS Senator Alessandra Biaggi, as well as defined terms within the conversation such as committees.
