If a Republican had tried to pass this budget, the NYT and the rest of the media would have screamed bloody murder.

I'm not saying that I'm liking Cuomo, but I have to say that he doesn't suck anywhere near as much as I expected him to suck. He's not his father.

He's not Patterson, either, and Patterson had his moments.

You got that right. We would be blasted with rhetoric about how old people are going to die because Republicans were withholding food and water from them.

Truer words have never been spoken! You hear him on the nightly news and democrats would have flipped if Pataki would have proposed any of what's in the new budget.

Our local school district didn't like that they got less money, but they aren't asking for a tax hike either and aren't cutting much, so they couldn't have needed an increase.

My Dad met and talked with Cuomo Jr on some HUD issue like 10 years ago, and came away from the meeting amazed that he liked the guy, seeing how he couldn't stand Sr. Jr even allowed his picture in the local paper with a Republican! My dad passed away before he ran for Gov, but I can see why he liked him better than his father.
