It's still a lot better than nothing.

  Oh yes, definitely. I just wish that NY lawmakers would have more backbone than federal lawmakers. Getting elected to the state government costs significantly less money for a campaign than winning a federal position, state lawmakers should not be as easy to be influenced by large corporations as they have a lot less to lose in comparison to federal lawmakers in terms of future campaign contributions. Or maybe I'm very naive. I do live in NY, my elected state representatives did not spend a ton to win their seats.

    Unfortunately the lower campaign costs also mean it is cheaper for a purchaser-of-politicians to fund the run of a competitor who will do their bidding.
