The candidates for state comptroller discussed the finer points of public finance over the weekend, attracting eyeballs (properly shaded) by the dozens to a public access channel in Manhattan, which ran a tape of the event last night. The candidate of the Libertarian Party, Cruger Gallaudet, confessed to all those watching that he actually wasn’t particularly qualified for the job, a… → Read More
CUOMO's Moses moment on JFK — WFP still waiting on GOV — DE BLASIO's giving
Paging Robert Caro! Mr. Caro? Are you there, Mr. Caro? Of course he’s not. The great historian (and onetime Newsday reporter) is still deep into his research as he tries to solve the enigma known as Lyndon Baines Johnson.

WFP goes for CUOMO — SILVER stays free — Waiting for GATEWAY
Should he choose to accept the nomination, Andrew Cuomo will be on the Working Families Party ticket for governor in November after all. It was inevitable, but it nevertheless inspired great gnashing of teeth and wringing of hands, for the governor is not nearly lefty enough and pure enough for many party members. During the WFP’s state committee meeting last night, there were several ringing… → Read More
RAISE the AGE — MOLINARO's budget magic — MONEY race to replace TISH

On Monday, 93 teens were installed at the Horizon juvenile detention center in the Bronx, presided over by 72 officers, 17 children's service workers and 12 health staffers. The state mandated this change and the city implemented it, which… → Read More

What is George Pataki declaring?
The hard question George Pataki must face is not why he believes he is a viable presidential candidate in 2015, nearly a decade after leaving Albany to the tender mercies of Eliot Spitzer. That question is easy: Any three-term governor of New York with a beating heart and a working brain should automatically qualify as a presidential contender, even if half that time was spent in the 20th… → Read More
