Another Short Session
-
- July
- 1
Senate Democrat and Republicans gaveled in and out of session again this afternoon without taking any action.
The whole thing lasted a few minutes before the 62 senators left the chambers.
Senators said they are preparing to be in Albany for the Fourth of July weekend, expecting Gov. David Paterson to continue to call daily special sessions.
He’s holding his daily press conference at 4:30 p.m. today.
Sen. Pedro Espada, D-Bronx, said the special sessions are useless.
“It’s nothing more than a continued opportunity by Governor Paterson’s pollsters to think that they will increase their favorable rating, and the evidence on that is pretty much in. It’s not working for them,” Espada said.
A Marist College poll yesterday found that Paterson’s approval rating is still at record lows, with 21 percent of New Yorkers approving of the job he’s doing.

I think it is time to put the children in their place. All citizens of New York need to stand up and tell those children that they are not getting paid for doing nothing. Just showing up is not enough.
The Democrats won control of the Senate, and because he wasn’t picked to lead one criminal (I’m sorry he hasn’t been convicted yet)decided to was time to do an overthrow of the Senate. This is unconstitutional because these kids were elected by the people. If you want to switch parties fine; so vote with your new toys, don’t upset the whole State with your childish ways.
Its time for these children to go back to work and do the job that were elected to do.
Espada and Monseratte are both elected Democrats, which, which no matter how you look at it, gives you the idea of the quality of person the Democrats send up there.
But their constituents will send them all back to albany next year
