New York Gov. Andrew Cuomo Pushes for Freeze on State Worker Salaries
By Christopher Weber - Politics DailyIn an effort to cope with a lingering financial crisis, New York Gov. Andrew Cuomo will push for a one-year salary freeze for state workers and a cap on spending. The new governor will unveil details of his proposed "emergency financial reinvention plan" Wednesday during his first State of the State address, administration officials told New York's Daily News. The state is facing a $10 billion budget deficit. As a candidate, Cuomo promised one of his main objectives would be to get Albany's financial house in order. Newsday reported any wage freeze would have to be negotiated with state ...
NY Gov. David Paterson Anxious About Navigating Private Life
By Mara Gay - AOL NewsNew York Gov. David Paterson is leaving office next month, and he's especially worried about what lies ahead. In part, that's because Paterson is blind. And after years of being attended by staff, he says he's nervous about having to relearn the simplest tasks in his everyday life, from navigating the supermarket to hailing a cab. "If I go into a grocery store, the state police come in with me," he told The New York Times. "It's kind of like, 'Hey, Governor, just tell us what you need, and we'll get it for you.' And, I know I have to adjust." Tim Roske, AP New York Gov. David ...
Carl Paladino Plays Up Redneck Politics
By Luisita Lopez Torregrosa - Politics DailyNEW YORK -- In other years, in a milder political climate, none of us would pay any mind to the rants and rages of Carl Pasquale Paladino. But it is an angry and nutty election year, and Paladino has surfaced fully amped from the reactionary depths of cash-strapped Buffalo to carry the GOP and Tea Party banners in the New York gubernatorial race. In a relatively short time, Paladino, a 64-year-old anti-abortion, anti-gay-marriage millionaire developer who shocked New York when he won the Republican nomination against the party's favored candidate, has brought redneck politics out in the open ...
Ann Coulter Defends Carl Paladino's Anti-Gay Remarks
By Steven Hoffer - AOL News(Oct. 12) -- Did Carl Paladino's recent anti-gay remarks win him votes? Ann Coulter seems to think so. Coulter paid a visit to "The O'Reilly Factor" on Monday evening to defend Paladino, the tea-party-backed New York gubernatorial candidate, no stranger to controversy himself, who has come under fire for staunchly critical (arguably bigoted) comments he made about homosexuality during a speech given to a summit of Orthodox Jewish leaders on Sunday. "'I just think my children and your children would be much better off and much more successful getting married and raising a family, and I don't ...
Opinion: The Tea Party Pendulum Has Swung Too Far
By Mark Budman - AOL News(Sept. 30) -- A longtime Republican, I voted Sept. 14 in the New York state primary to defeat Carl Paladino on his way to becoming our next governor. Paladino is the loudest voice of the shrill cacophony of the tea party cries in my state. He's a local, male Sarah Palin. I don't have any problems with tea parties, though I prefer my tea decaffeinated and my parties not too noisy. As he tells us in the video on his website, Paladino "is mad as hell" and he is "on a crusade." Do we need someone who is self-proclaimed mad to govern the great but dysfunctional state of New York? Just read what ...
Tea Party Coups: O'Donnell for Senate in Delaware, Paladino for New York Governor
By Jill Lawrence - Politics DailyTea Party conservatives emerged from the final big night of the 2010 primary season with at least two shocking upsets: Their pick in Delaware's Republican Senate primary, Christine O'Donnell, toppled veteran Rep. Michael Castle. And Buffalo developer Carl Paladino, a political newcomer allied with the Tea Party, defeated former congressman Rick Lazio in New York's Republican gubernatorial primary. The Delaware primary was a fitting climax to a season of noisy contests between candidates anointed by the Republican establishment because they seemed more electable, and those favored by Tea Party ...
New York Gov. David Paterson Misled Investigators Over Yankees Tickets, Report Finds
By Christopher Weber - Politics DailyAn independent counsel in New York has determined that David Paterson misled ethics investigators when he testified that he had intended to pay for free tickets to last year's World Series, but the report stops short of recommending that the governor be charged with perjury. The New York Times reported Thursday that the independent counsel, Judith Kaye, said it was up to the district attorney in Albany to decide whether Paterson should be prosecuted. The state's Commission on Public Integrity opened a probe earlier this year when it determined that Paterson only paid for tickets after the ...
Notorious Call Girl Ashley Dupre Changing Career
By Michelle Ruiz - AOL News(Jul. 4) -- Former call girl Ashley Dupre has a new career plan -- and it has nothing to do with sex. Since her big reveal as Eliot Spitzer's escort in 2008, Dupre, 25, has pursued pop music, posed nude for Playboy and penned a dating advice column in the New York Post called, "Ask Ashley." She once told a reader: "Guys are primal." Now the Post reports Dupre is studying to become a real estate broker. She told the newspaper she has already completed a required course for aspiring New York realtors. "I recently moved back to New York from Los Angeles. Since being home, I took and passed the ...
Paterson: I Was Source in Times Story About Me
By Michelle Ruiz - AOL News(March 18) -- When The New York Times reported that New York Gov. David Paterson intervened in a domestic abuse case involving his top aide, Paterson said the story was based on unsourced claims and unnamed sources. Now, the governor says, he was one of those sources. Paterson told a New York radio station today that he was the source who led the Times to write the story that prompted him to drop his election bid and triggered the resignation of five of his staffers amid calls that he do the same. The Times flatly denies the claim. Chris Hondros, Getty Images New York Gov. David Paterson ...
