From New York Post:
Now that he’s been out maneuvered and humiliated by Assembly Speaker Sheldon Silver in the crucial struggle for a new budget, Gov. Paterson has no choice but to declare war on the man who has long personified state government’s hidebound tax-and-spend ways.
That means veto, veto and veto.
Paterson was outmaneuvered by Silver last year when, in the depth of the recession, he agreed to a record-high budget that hiked taxes by $8 billion — so Silver and his Democratic cohorts could keep cash flowing to their teachers-union and hospital-worker allies.
