An Albany building was renamed in honor of the accidental governor who showed how to play hardball against lawmakers as Gov. Kathy Hochul floats a late budget to cinch bail win.
“Whatever the governor thinks is the best way to resolve the issue quickly would be the proper way. If she feels she has to do that, then that’s the direction she’ll go in,” Paterson said in Albany.
Gov. Kathy Hochul has suggested she might hold up the state budget to get Democratic lawmakers to agree on overhauling bail reform.“The study of David Paterson’s time is critical for this particular moment,” his longtime friend Dr. Clemmie Harris, an associate history professor at Utica College, said about his former roommate Friday. “He governed with humility.
“I remember that when I used that process back in 2010, a candidate for governor called me up named Andrew Cuomo. And he said, I am going to take this measure that you figured out and I’m going to take it for a touchdown,” Paterson said his three-term successor. “I think New Yorkers are really looking for quick and positive action, particularly with the increase in crime, particularly with the increase in inflation the difficulty of just trying to make ends meet,” Paterson, who has“How do you explain a sex scandal to Hilly Clinton,” the jocular pol recalled thinking Friday during a 2008 phone call telling Clinton he would replace Spitzer as governor.
Yet, Paterson said he remains optimistic that Hochul, Heastie and Stewart-Cousins – the so-called “three people in a room” who call the shots in state government – will get a budget done by April 1.
