Politics on the Hudson

Not really, but the press release yesterday from Sen. James Alesi, R-Perinton, Monroe County, said he “lashes out at Gov. Paterson: Upstate Czar must remain.”

Let’s just say Alesi, who chairs the Senate Committee on Commerce, Economic Development and Small Business , mildly criticizes Paterson over planning to do away with the two-headed, upstate-downstate Empire State Development Corp.

But the “lashing” is making its way around the blogosphere today, so here it is and you can judge for yourself.
