PATAKI HAS BEEN A DISASTER FOR NY. Keep him away from anything related to security.
I think NYers posting about how bad Pataki is, have short memories about how bad things were under the Cuomo/Dinkins regimes.
You, my friend, are a victim of the MSM. That, or you didn't live here during the Cuomo administration. You show me the 'disasters' and I will show you point by point and program by program, what this governor has done to bring New York back from 12 years of liberal destruction!
Granted, Pataki is not a 'conservative' Republican. He would never have been elected in this state. However, he has accomplished much - DESPITE - the efforts of a predominantly liberal Senate and Legislature, that has done everything in its power, under Sheldon Silver, to shoot down the governor's programs.
I'll even begin with the latest court debacle demanding that NYS fork over millions of dollars into the NYC school system. Your turn!
