Governor Paterson visited Syracuse this week and laced his comments at the MDA Luncheon with some Dinosaur hot sauce.  When it came to talking about the budget, the Governor pointed out that even though the NY economy was financially struggling, the Legislature adopted a budget way beyond what was fiscally sound.  He came in late in the game and tried to change it, but the assembly and senate just added it back Governor Paterson rightly called this unconscionable and challenged the CNY legislators in the audience to justify such an outrageous increase to the taxpayers.  The chances are the leadership of the legislature will ignore the reality as they have for the last 12 years.  But Governor Paterson should stick to his guns and keep lathering hot sauce on the legislators.  The only thing scarier than losing a perk from the speaker or senate leader is losing your seat and Central New Yorkers ought to make it clear that any elected official who prefers spendthrift spending to sound fiscal policy will not stay in office.
