Round 3 coming up in Capitol verbal wrestling match
-
- May
- 18
Round three of the latest attempt by state-government leaders to 1) meet in public and 2) not just squabble is set for 3 p.m. Monday.
Gov. Eliot Spitzer and legislative leaders hope that this session goes better than the one this week, when charges of showboating, backbiting and delaying dominated the 90-minute session.
Will Senate Majority Leader Joseph Bruno and Assembly Speaker continued to squabble and ignore Spitzer? Will Spitzer again assert that “it’s my room’’ and demand that the leaders play by his rules? Will Bruno, who declared the last session “a total waste of time’’ even show up?
Will they make any progress on issues like campaign-finance reform, power-plant siting and construction laws? Stay tuned.
