so when was this change thing going to happen?
The boys are back town. How refreshing. How many people pulled the lever for Mario Cuomo (aka Eliot Spitzer)? Please stand up.
I hear Ed Norton is line for Chairman of the state Consumer Protection Board of Commissioner of Motor Vehicles
Ed Norton? Where's Brad PItt and Angelina Jolie. Is Eliot bringing us a celebrity culture of actors/singer and sports celebs who will mouth of while knowing nothing.
so dennis rivera will recommend closing hospitals and cutting health budgets all on Day 1
This is a very dissapointing group of retreads
i'm glad gene russianoff's on the list.
Thats an awful way to describe Diana Fortuna! She is brillant and doenst need to be identified by her husband or who Spitzer endoresed.
Go Stuart!!!!!
Go Stuart!!!!!
Go Stuart!!!
That's an awful lot of mouths to feed. You will be able to tell the Cuomo retreads -- they will be the ones that look like the extras in a George Romero film.
Did you know Jack Kittle is on the team?
who suggested former Senator Carl Andrews for an appointment by Spitzer?
was it done deliberately to make sure that it's the same old same old?
didn't Spitzer know about the rumors about Andrews being a "bag man"?
is Spitzer now going to keep Andrews around and wait for an indictment or will he be a "reformer" and ask for his resignation now?
while on the subject of Albany, how much money is wolfson getting to lobby for mulrow? has wolfson filed lobbying documents with the nys commission on lobbying for his work (paid) on behalf of Mulrow with the selection committee?
