ok again: was some other senator supposedly to do her job?
LONG TERM: what was accomplished?

138 bills presented in one year!
with few (very few) successful attempts
how about one or two that are worth the paper they are written on,
instead of the steady barrage presented to congress with a fair precentage
of them withdrawn.
this would require someone with clear thought and focus

advocates are great. accomplishments are better.
i am an advocate for many things
for a cleaner environment as well.
for children (who the hell isn't)
yet being an advocate does not consitute a good senator. junior or
otherwise.
Pete Seeger is an advocate, far more succesful than hillary by a long shot
far more interesting.

the vast majority of the bills (the important ones) concerning the
environment were not sponsered by her, she simply joined the coattails of
other senators. the rest were for postage stamps and the like.
this is an interesting strategy if you think about it.
no responsiblity when it fails.

Eliot Spitzer is "after her" simply because he has his eye on pataki's
office and can use all the democratic support he can get

yes she has worked some on the rights of children and deserves credit for
this (somewhat misguided) effort.

on another note: there is a signifcant development project underway near me.
She has shown up for all the Photo Ops and claimed responsibilty for the
"funding".
want to venture a guess: the funding is not in place. the project has come
to a halt.
fine "representation" don't you think
more smoke screens.

was there some other senator besides hillary and chuck that should have
been
doing something about it?
what was accomplished?


Hillary took it up with Eliot Spitzer, who is now after them. She actually
directly prevented a 4 spill when some outfit claimed they couldn't
prevent it.
She shut them down with a court order.
You said she did nothing, but Hillary is a major environmental advocate
who's
already protected the waters you sail in.
I'm sorry if you don't see this as "doing something."
In addition to that, she's added considerable fund raising punch to
Schumer's
plans to revitalize aspects of children's services.
