Governor Paterson will force the budget issue Monday by putting the rest of his proposals in extender #13, thus allowing lawmakers to choose between a shutdown and a quick end to the budget impasse on the Governor's terms. That's a good out for the Legislature and I bet they take it.
Paterson says budget will be done by Monday - one way or the other!

Thug Sheldon promised the same thing this week. Should we mark this down somewhere as if it matters?
Whatever your view of the Guv is, he is the only one who has been leading on the budget issue... the legs are wiennies, plain and simple.
Paterson has put the legislator's feet to the fire. Shelly is feeling the heat and squirming from pressure he has never felt before.
The governor is a lame duck but that what gives him the power to impose conservative budget proposals. Lame is not always bad!
