Paterson on 'Hardcore Cutting' and Public Authorities

 

Here’s David Paterson at the A.B.N.Y. breakfast yesterday morning, offering up a critique of spending in public authorities across the state.

“There are 640 public authorities in this state, only 11 of them regulated by a public authority control boards," he said. "Maybe we should find out what the other 629 do. Because they consume billions of your and my dollars in taxes every year."

Great speech, Governor Paterson. Wasn't this supposed to be reformed on Day One, um, a year and a half ago?
