Wait until Bruno and Silver read that. He has no idea how self-centered they can be when they're accused of being self-centered. Good luck with them and the indians.

Haven't we been through this? Tires? Thruway? Anyone remember that deal? That was over much less money too. He must not be very bright. Haven’t we been through this? Tires? Thruway?

That last one has yet to be announced. Although he's been on a lifelong vacation, one might think that he needs a few months at a lake somewhere to clear his head.

That's sovereign land, and the Indians will have him in Federal Court. As for the rest of his cigarettes comment, Paterson may realize all New York has done with that onerous tax is to create a criminal black market, both organized and not organized. But overall he is clueless, talking about more taxes, from whatever source. Cut the spending, and take on the unions. The costs there are overwhelming the state and taxpayers.
