Albany DA David Soares sought to put the Troopergate scandal to rest (Spitzer siccing state troopers on elected officials like a Third World generalissimo). Soares reluctantly released 8,562 pages of documents from his two Troopergate probes.....that show Soares treated then-Gov.

Paterson is actually CUTTING EXPENSES in New York budget!!!
I may even vote for him if he keeps this up.
Don’t believe it for two seconds. Patterson is a weakling and was called Governor See No Evil. He has no vision for the state and will just help push it further towards the fiscal train wreck that it has become. Disaster for NY is just around the corner. Until there is a massive restructuring in the way that the state does business and a dramatic scaling back of entitlement programs, the state is doomed. Patterson is just a typical dim. Once the republicans lose the senate its all over. Shelley Silver will be running things and hundreds of thousands will vote with their feet, fleeing to Florida and other low tax environs.
