Former Kansas Democrat sets his sights on DiNapoli

Dispatches from Planet Albany

Raj Goyle is one of a growing list of Democrats looking to wrest their party's state comptroller nomination away from incumbent Tom DiNapoli. The former Kansas state lawmaker argues that the powers of the comptroller's office have been wasted and makes the case that his background makes him the optimal change candidate.

We touch on his voting record in the Wheat State, the type of primary voter who will gravitate toward his longshot bid, and his vision for future audits.

For Working Rules we chat with Politico New York reporter Bill Mahoney about the state's top court upholding a law changing some municipal election dates and pontificate about the appetite in Albany to upend more elections.
