In Wednesday’s NY Post, Fred Dicker has a front page story charging Governor Spitzer with refusing to fund projects in the district of Assembly Republican Leader Jim Tedisco.
Gov. Spitzer yesterday played vicious hardball with his chief opponent in the battle over driver's licenses for illegal aliens – canceling $300,000 in state-funded health-care and education projects in Assembly Minority Leader James Tedisco's district, The Post has learned. "It's governance by vengeance. He doesn't care who he hurts," a furious Tedisco (R-Schenectady) told The Post. "You disagree with him and he tries to steamroller you," said Tedisco, a Republican.
My question to Fred and others is how this is different from what Fred reported on Monday, without a hint of criticism – Joe Bruno cut off cell phone service to Democratic Senators and stopped construction on a Democratic staffer’s office because the Dems made Joe angry?
Is it OK for Joe to be a steamroller but not Eliot?
