‘Three men in a room’ to reconvene next week

 Gov. David Paterson plans to meet privately with legislative leaders next Thursday in New York City to talk about his plan to cap property taxes.
It will be the first time that new Senate Majority Leader Dean Skelos will be one of the “three men in a room’’ that calls the shots at the Capitol. ( Assembly Speaker Sheldon Silver is the third.) Skelos took over last month as Senate majority leader from Joseph Bruno, who is quitting the Senate today.
Paterson has proposed that the state force school districts to limit annual increases in property-tax rates to a maximum of four percent, but lawmakers didn’t act on the idea during the legislative session that ended on June 24.
Skelos has signaled his willingness to back the idea, but Silver is opposed.
The Legislature is expected back at the Capitol for a brief session in September. The tax-cap idea may be considered then.

Time is ripe for a legislative and popular uprising against Shelly Silver.
An upstate State Supreme Court Judge ripped Silver apart yesterday for his “cavalier” and worse handling of the sex assault complaints against his aide Michael Boxer by two women a few years ago. Boxer is now gone. I think the story is in today’s http://www.nypost.com
