The targets for a comprehensive housecleaning in Albany have been identified. Now, voters must follow through with a vengeance on Election Day.

Led by former Mayor Ed Koch, an organization called New York Uprising challenged each candidate for state office – incumbent and outsider alike – to pledge support for three fundamental changes that would go a long way to fix New York‘s broken government.

Pols were required to give a clear yes or no to reforms that would end rampant gerrymandering of legislative districts, clean up the ethical swamp at the Capitol and force honest budgeting.

Many contenders signed on the dotted line, thus passing a minimal test of fitness for office. But far too many refused – including both Assembly Speaker Sheldon Silver and Senate Democratic leader John Sampson. The refusers belong in the cross hairs in November.

Among those Koch’s group classified as “Heroes of Reform” were all 29 members of the Republican minority in the Senate, along with enough Democrats in that chamber to constitute a clear majority for change.

But “Enemies of Reform” dominate in the Assembly, especially in its ruling Democratic bloc.

Some tagged as enemies will claim that they support reform despite not signing the pledge. They are not to be believed. They are members of a corrupt and dysfunctional Legislature that has lost all credibility where open and honest governing is concerned.

No figure bears more responsibility for Albany sleaze than Silver, who has reigned over the Assembly through 16 years of scandals, meltdowns and indictments.

He postures as a champion of reform when, in fact, he refuses to release a complete financial disclosure form that would reveal how much outside income he earns from a personal-injury law firm even as he blocks tort reform.
