David Paterson is making a big deal out of the budget crisis not because the New York is in dire straights, but because he's “coming out” as governor, says Democratic Assemblyman Rory Lancman “There’s no crisis right now," he told me in an interview this afternoon. "There’s a $600 million shortfall that the governor, through some modest, unilateral actions, has already resolved. This whole exercise is about David Paterson becoming governor. This is his coming out, so to speak. And he’s chosen to come out as the governor who cut spending and imposes discipline on a profligate legislature. And that’s not the governor we want him to be.” He added, “The next three weeks is a fight among the different ideologies and philosophies in New York State politics, for David’s soul.” ...

Few legislators in the United States have been as brave on education reform as New York Governor David Paterson. From his time representing Harlem in the New York State Senate to his current position as Governor, Paterson has marked his time in Albany as a bold leader working to revitalize New York's public education system. In 2003, Paterson, as a state senator, stood next to Mayor Michael Bloomberg to announce that charter schools would be allowed to share space with public schools. New York Daily News columnist Bill Hammond wrote , "Gov. Paterson deserves high marks for his early and outspoken support for charter schools." The New York Post also offered praise, writing "As a state senator representing Harlem, he was keenly aware of the heartbreaking social cost imposed by public schools that have failed generation after generation of boys and girls." ...

Remember that mandatory game ratings bill that was passed by the New York Senate last month? Just yesterday, New York Governor David Paterson signed the video game bill into law, creating an interesting precedent for videogame legislation. The videogame bill in question is described thus by the office of the Governor A.11717 / S.6401-A (the videogame bill) establishes an advisory council to conduct a study on the connection between interactive media and real-life violence in minors exposed to such media. This bill will also require new video game consoles to have parental lockout features by 2010, and mandate that games sold at retail disclose the ratings obtained from the gaming industry's voluntary rating system. GamePolitics' coverage (external link) of the legislation also has a comment from Richard Taylor, Senior Vice President of Communications and Research for the Entertainment Software Association ( ESA ): The state has ignored legal precedent, common sense and the wishes of many New Yorkers in enacting this unnecessary bill. This government intrusion will cost taxpayers money and impose unconstitutional mandates for activities and technologies that are already voluntarily in place. It also unfairly singles out the videogame industry over all other forms of media. One wonders where this overreach by government in New York will end. If New York lawmakers feel it is the role of government to convene a government commission ...
The state’s dire financial situation will be laid out to New Yorkers in a no-frills, straight-to-the-point 5 minute speech by Governor David Paterson late this afternoon. With a large deficit, Governor Paterson has hinted that layoffs for state workers could be a possibility. That hint grabbed the attention of at least one north country lawmaker; Assemblywoman Dede Scozzafava. Scozzafava says that the North Country relies heavily on the public sector and on those dollars coming out of albany to run correctional facilities and state-run agencies. There are no indications cuts are coming in these fields, although the assemblywoman says she’ll be listening to Paterson’s speech closely and will then follow up with governor’s budget office to find out exactly where cuts and layoffs might be proposed. Governor Paterson’s speech is scheduled for 5:10 p.m. today. Watch our report: [See post to watch Flash video] From the Associated Press: State lawmakers may have to cut short their summer vacations to return to Albany and tackle the state’s sinking financial situation. The gloomy fiscal outlook is so bad that Governor Paterson is taking the rare step of giving a live televised address this evening to let New Yorkers know about the state’s fiscal woes. Paterson has been warning lawmakers and the public for weeks that more needs to be done to cut state spending. The governor is considering calling a special legislative session this summer t ...
Novelists Zora Neale Hurston and Isabel Paterson had much in common including opposition to the New Deal and a shared belief individualism. Both also opposed the dropping of the atomic bomb. In 1946, Hurston, who later supported the presidential campaign of Robert A. Taft, wrote that she was "amazed at the complacency of Negro press and public " towards Truman's foreign policy actions. According to Hurston, Truman "is a monster. I can think of him as nothing else but the BUTCHER of ASIA. Of his grin of triumph on giving the order to drop the Atom bombs on Japan. Of his maintaining troops in China who are shooting the starving Chinese for stealing a handful of food....Is it that we are so devoted to a 'good Massa' that we feel that we ought not to even protest such crimes? Have we no men among us? If we cannot stop it, we can at least let it be known that we are not deceived. We can make any party who condones it, let alone orders it, tremble for election time." Carla Kaplan, ed., Zora Neale Hurston: A Life in Letters (New York: Doubleday, 2002), 546. At about the same time, Paterson cited the atomic bomb as an example of Truman's use of science “to fry Japanese babies in atomic radiation.” Their deaths did not even have practical value to Paterson, who had predicted an almost immediate surrender of the Japanese upon the landing of a U.S. invasion force. The only bright spot for her was that Truman compromised his demand of unconditiona ...
