THE BIG GOV WHO WOULDN'T
New York Post Editorial
"December 29, 2006 -- The 12-year incumbency of George Elmer Pataki draws to an end at mid night Sunday. New Yorkers may not be sad to see him go - but, then again, it can fairly be said that he never really showed up in the first place.
Not for the job he was expected to do, anyway. Often, not even for work.
To put it bluntly, Ol' George let New York down.
Ran off, in pursuit of his own interests.
Even as taxes across the state squeezed out residents and businesses.
And political corruption mushroomed.
And, later, Ground Zero languished.
Indeed, even as his own Republican Party withered on the vine.
This will be Pataki's sad legacy:"
And unfortunately Spitzer's Inheritance........for the rest of this rant.........................click here........andy
