Food for thought
Got an email comment on my list of potential Presidential candidates for 2008 and I thought it was interesting and funny so I am printing it here:
- Geeze, Kere
Don't include Pataki on your list. ...Unless you, in
Washington, would also like to see him out of New
York! The only way I would want him as Prez is to
share the grief with the rest of the country.
Our wonderful NY legislature has failed to approve a
budget on time for at least a decade. I'm not talking
a few days... rather months! Fun for the whole
country! The Gov hasn't lifted a finger to force them
to do their job! Not sure if there is even a budget
for 2004 yet, and the deadline was April 1. Figures ?
April fools day for our budget ? it does live up to
it. Meanwhile school districts have to borrow to keep
afloat ? and go deeper in debt. The budget timeline is
here:

but I think they are optimistic to think it might be
done by July any year.
Alternatively, Hilary rocks! She has shown grace under
pressure and has been very attentive to the dilemas of
rural NY while still embracing the cities. So I do
agree on her incluson.
Peace.
