Brian Foley says GOP had their chance (Putney Swope)
Foley says GOP had their chance

When the residents of New York State sent a Democratic majority to Albany last November, they did so believing that it would signal a new day in Albany; for five months, it did. We have made tough choices throughout the process of restoring funding to Medicare, ensuring our schools are adequately funded, and protecting our environment.
But there is more work to be done.  There are still problems, including repairing school aid formulas, improving infrastructure, and making sure Long Island receives its fair share of State resources, left to address.  These are issues the senate Republicans had 40 years to fix, and did not. Now, they are claiming the senate Democrats have been ineffective because these issues have not been addressed. If they could not fix it in forty years, how can they reasonably expect us to be able to fix it in five months?

Ratner Seeks Federal Bailout Of Atlantic Yards Project (phillip anderson)
Apparently, the fiasco known as "Ratnerville" is a "transit project", at least according to the developers at Forest City Ratner, and worthy of a slice of New York's take from the stimulus bill that President Obama will sign today in Denver. More from DDDB.

Congestion Pricing: Streetsblog Follows Shelly's Car-Industry Money (Roatti)
