@Strandjunker On the extreme: Austin Texas is an example of a place that tries to do some good and then the state government spends their biennial sessions undoing and banning anything they did or might do.

If the New York state government was against it they'd be preventing everything he's doing, instead they're actively helping him (ex: balance the budget). If Cuomo was still governor they probably would be antagonistic.

But yeah, "bureaucracy" is shorthand for "boogyman".
