The Good Old Days

April

Senate Minority Leader Dean Skelos, R-Nassau County, wondered today whether Assembly Speaker Sheldon Silver, D-Manhattan, is critical of Republicans over the MTA gridlock because he misses them not being in the majority.

“When you’re frustrated sometimes you lash out at those who you love the most and who you, deep in your heart, wish were still in the majority, that know how to govern, have governed in the past, have made tough decisions in the past and have worked in the end with the speaker and with the governor,  no matter who it was to get some sort of result.”

“So I think in his comments he is yearning for those days once again. And the way Albany is functioning right now, in Jan. 1, 2011, he’s going to have that pleasure of working with us once again” because he predicted Republicans will win back the Senate majority.
