Control No. 3 on today’s “basically noncontroversial” agenda

paterson-memo-special-session2-copy1
This is the memo Governor Paterson sent out listing the order of business for today’s special Senate session. He’s called the items “basically non-controversial.” Mayoral control is No. 3, and Paterson plans to introduce a copy of the bill the Assembly passed last week — the one that Mayor Bloomberg supports, without too many “tweaks.”

The session starts at 3 p.m., but of course, in order to vote, the senators have to know who’s in charge. And they still don’t.

(Postscript: Here’s why people don’t like the Wicks Law.)

    Just another day at the circus.

    Seems to me that we should vote out ALL of the bums. It only takes one real leader to stick out his or her neck and speak truth to power. These people are grinding our state’s operation to a halt at a critical time, the ending of many fiscal years. I hope others join me in vowing to support NONE of them, regardless of their role in this fiasco, when they are up for re-election. Not a SINGLE one of these senators has stepped up with a plan to end this nonsense. A governor with good intentions but toothless levels of support is not going to be able to wag this dog.
