Eric Schneiderman on Wall Street

State Senator and Democratic Attorney General nominee Eric Schneiderman was in Buffalo for a campaign stop hosted by Erie County Comptroller Mark Poloncarz, who was one of a few local politicos to have endorsed Schneiderman during the primary.
Promising to continue as a "sheriff of Wall Street", Schneiderman praised Poloncarz's, "aggressive, fair-minded approach to the [comptroller's] audit function" as an example of what the attorney general's office should do to "restore public confidence in the market and financial sector". Schneiderman focused not so much on the financial meltdown's affect on the banks, but more on the "grassroots consequences" of Wall Street's collapse. Noting that Americans had withdrawn $33 billion from the markets in recent months, Schneiderman promised to be a "watchdog" for the people of New York.
