And now that all the legislators are back to run for re-election and dole out their pork money to buy your votes we will have to suffer with the damage of things they passed and things they failed to act on.

Mark my words, they will say that it was a great session with landmark decisions and a budget we can all live with. I think what they are really saying is. We did what we could to pass legislation to our most important constituents, the unions that control us and line our pockets with cash. The rest of you can go to hell, sit down, shut up and just pay more for everything. We don’t have to respond to you, we are Albany and we do what we want, just ask Shelly Silver.

State Legislature ends a wild, bizarre session

ALBANY — Key measures affecting the upstate economy died Tuesday as Gov. David A. Paterson and legislative leaders ended this year’s legislative session, one of the more bizarre periods highlighted by the departure of its two biggest power brokers.

Left undone was an effort to lift what in a week will be a ban for hundreds of non-union companies from bidding on government construction projects.

The lawmakers also did not renew a law giving civic groups, schools, hospitals and others access to low-interest financing, leaving in doubt a number of Western New York projects.

The issue of rising property taxes, so prominent with voters, was pushed aside for another day.
