Albany is broken, and while Greg Ball cannot wave a magic wand he is fighting everyday to fix it. Greg supports campaign finance reform, serious ethics & budget reform and is a sponsor of term limit legislation. The time for deep rooted and substantive change has arrived.

Greg Ball believes it is high time to return Albany to its right owners - the people of the State of New York. It is time to give a voice to all New Yorkers - Democrats, Republicans, Conservatives and Independents from cities, suburbs and rural areas both upstate and downstate.

With Assemblyman Ball's election to the State Assembly it is clear that the people have demanded change. Assemblyman Ball promised during the campaign to give up his profitable position in the private sector and be a full time Assemblyman; Greg kept that promise and commits every moment of every day to his constituents.

When and wherever possible, the Assemblyman will work with the new Governor and the handful of reformers within the Assembly to cast a bright light upon the corruption and the backroom deals. The time for change has come, and the opportunity for real reform is here, but substantive change will only be possible through leadership.

Greg Ball cosponsored the responsible state budgeting law signed into law in 2007. In his next term in the assembly, he looks forward to passing legislation to further government transparency, enact real campaign finance reform, put an end to unfunded mandates, and reining in out of control state spending.

Responsible New York is organized around a core set of values, beliefs and principles that are essential to guiding true political reform in the State of New York. Our quest is to create a political movement to return Albany to its rightful owners. Their pledge is help create an organization with no personal agendas, other than to give a voice to all New Yorkers – Democrats, Republicans, Conservatives and Independents from cities, suburbs and rural areas both upstate and downstate. In the 99th assembly district, they have endorsed Assemblyman Greg Ball, our independent voice in Albany.
