Bruno's use of tax dollars unjust

Let me start today's column from the end instead of the beginning.

I have no problem at all with New York Gov. Eliot Spitzer using the state police to investigate and report on someone who is reasonably suspected of wrong-doing. That's what police agencies are for: pursuing suspects.

What I have a huge problem with is state Senate Majority Leader Joe Bruno mis-using state helicopters, vehicles and employees to raise campaign funds. Even though Attorney General Andrew Cuomo has said that neither Bruno nor Spitzer's staff were guilty of breaking any laws, Bruno's behavior is unethical, to say the least, and deserves further investigation.
