Robert Giuffre (not verified) says:

I am being a little hard, but for reason. Spitzer is a really good public official and has stuck his neck out on the line for New York and the Democrats so far. He has taken a beaten for it too.

He is trying to bring new life to the state. The Republicans in the Senate have killed all of his legislative ideas, so Spitzer is using the powers of the executive branch to bring changes via the agencies....(which by the way, the republicans refuse to appoint his agency heads).

The senate Dems just devalued Spitzer and made him look weak (during a time that spitzer is down)because unlike him they are unwilling to stick their necks out on the line for New York and the party's long term goals. I think they are betraying the governor and he happens to be 100% right on this issue. They are just too short-sighted and scared to follow him by sticking their necks out a little to actually accomplish something. I think, they are in effect kicking him while he is down.
