A cry from Who-ville

Even the wacky imaginings of Dr. Seuss can’t top on the goings on in Albany these days. The state Legislature’s total disregard for the citizens of New York State seem to reduce voters to the size of Dr. Seuss’ most lovable characters—the tiny Whos who live on a speck of dust, so insignificant to the big powerful forces in the world that they are about to be cast off without a thought and boiled in vat of hot Beezle-Nut stew.Â
But the Big Important Senators who are holding a tug-of-war over the keys to the Senate Chamber would be wise to remember the ending to Horton Hears a Who. You know, the part where Horton the Elephant tells the tiny mayor not to take it anymore:
      “Mr. Mayor! Mr. Mayor!” Horton called. “Mr. Mayor!
      You’ve got to prove that you really are there!
      So call a big meeting. Get everyone out.
      Make every Who holler! Make every Who shout!
      Make every Who scream!…”
Senators, don’t forget the next chapter (the one that Dr. Seuss never actually got to write) when all of Who-ville meets in the town square to vote and they turn the Big Self-Important Senators from both sides of the aisle right out of office.
