Take A Deep Breath

It's been a busy day around New York state -

Assembly Speaker Sheldon Silver told Eliot Spitzer and New York voters to f@!# off as he chose one of his own, rather than one of the three reccomended by Spitzer's panel, to replace Alan Hevesi as comptroller following a closed door session between Dem leaders.

Craig Johnson won in his bid for state Senate but it has thus far failed to have the ripple effect that some hoped for, despite blogosphere speculation indicating the possibility, no Senate Republicans have announced a change in party. Rochester progressives have been holding out for an announcement from Joe Robach but Senate leader Joe Bruno has stated that Robach will be a Republican for life.

Mayor Bob Duffy was expected to announce his decision regarding Midtown but - no such luck. The City has already payed property owners $250,000 just to keep its options open, Duffy has stated that any additional costs incurred by delays will be covered by private parties. We'll hold him to that.
