I don’t know if this has been mentioned, but isn’t Patterson the one who, when Rush Limbaugh said he was moving out of NY because he was being taxed to death said, “If I had known that, I would have raised taxes sooner.” Well, he is now living with the consequences of his words and his actions. I still can’t figure out why Trump stays. I thought he was a better businessman than that.

Oooo, a dynamic response invalidates a static assumptions of tax revenues.

Stick a pin in someone and they’ll always respond, sometimes in “unexpected” ways…

Look what fun Harold Ford is bringing to the upcoming races in NY. Accusing him of flip flopping. That is RICH when you see how Gillabrainless flipped on EVERY issue once she became Senator.

I agree Patterson will stay. It’d have to be REALLY bad for Patterson to resign. I believe Gillibrand was lobotomized by Schumer the moment she was elevated to the Senate. She was a conservative, gun-loving, Dem; now she’s Schumer’s puppet.

Absolutely! I am young and I keep asking myself, why do I stay? I have no ties to NY other than family and two siblings have already left NY.

Then they come down here and vote for Democrats.

At this rate, the only people left in the state in twenty years will work for it. They will all be griping about the taxes and planning on retiring to Florida to escape them, as soon as they get their thirty in. They will continue to vote for the Democrats, because they will tax the evil rich. They will also complain about how their kids can’t find jobs, and how expensive it is to live here.

Paterson is not going anywhere (until after the election). Why would he leave? He knows he isn’t well liked by the Democrats. Where would he go? HE staying put. Let the rumours fly. Disarray is good for us. Let the Dems fight amongst themselves. Look what fun Harold Ford is bringing to the upcoming races in NY. Accusing him of flip flopping. That is RICH when you see how Gillabrainless flipped on EVERY issue once she became Senator. I keep saying New York is RIPE for the picking. ANY reasonable Conservatives can ride in to ALL three seats up for election. That is the Govenor’s seat and BOTH Senator seats. Yes both. Gillibrainless’s seat is a special election and Schmucky Schumer’s is just up. Believe me, Schumer is very happy that most of the attention is on Gillibrainless. He is very vulnerable.

Honestly, if I were Paterson and facing an $8 billion dollar deficit and the crazies wanted me out because I wasn’t out to tax and spend even more, there’s no way you could get me to run for re-election.

Except that Patterson who said he wouldn’t balance the budget on the backs of the people is doing just that.

He has proposed new taxes on Cigarettes and Alcohol after last year’s $1.25 increase on Cigs. New license plates which will cost each taxpayer $25-30 per vehicle. A sugar tax on all carbonated beverages. Double the deposit on all bottles and now extended to Water (which I think is a good thing, not the doubling, but the expansion). Plus the long list of new and higher fees on everything from Hunting & Fishing licenses to registration fees etc.

While he proposes many cuts in Health and Education, he’s increasing taxes and fees all over the place.

Don’t be a wounded pirahanna in a school of pirahanna.

Love that!

I’m in New York and I almost feel bad for Patterson. He has tried to bring reform to NY, with his ethics bill and wanting to cut spending, while being the typical Democrat and giving raises to his staff and spending money for his own projects and being ethically challenged himself.

His main problem is no one can trust him as he seems to act like he can spend but no one else should. Typical Democrat hypocrite.

The State Dems in the NY Legistlature run by Sheldon Silver (in office since 1976) and one of the most corrupt Assemblymen in the state is really running the show. He keeps stopping any and all efforts made by Patterson.

As much as Patterson, in his own delusion, thinks he can win the election (not a re-election since he was appointed) he is a lame-duck gov. The Dem party led by Silver want the AG Andrew Cuomo, a long-time democrat-machine political family whose father (Mario) ran the state nearly into the ground to run. He refuses to announce as he waits for the last minute and seemingly doesn’t want a primary challenge. I suspect there’s some dirt in his closet under the skeletons already in there.
