EDITION<br /><br />GOLDEN'S CLOSE ALLY AND NEIGHBORING DISTRICT MEMBER IN THE NYS SENATE INTRODUCED SUCH A BILL LAST WEEK<br /><br /><br />Just like in the gay rights fight, Golden pretends to be against some things, while many of his close allies support them; and they get passed over Marty Golden's noisy, but almost always ineffective opposition.<br /><br />That's why everybody needs to keep an eye on State Senator Diane Savino (D-SI, Bklyn - 23rd SD), who last week introduced her version of a NYS "Assisted Suicide" Bill, oddly called "The New York End of Life Options Act."<br /><br />Over the years, Golden and Savino have co-sponsored legislation and often backed the same leadership team in the State Senate.Galewyn Masseyhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/09210379476512207622noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3872239785607728837.post-83557960565744583702015-02-17T12:32:20.732-05:002015-02-17T12:32:20.732-05:00GOOD GUY!

ARE YOU NUTS?
Preet Bharara...GOOD GUY! GOOD GUY! <br />ARE YOU NUTS?<br />Preet Bharara is more Chuck Schumer's hit man as US Attorney than he ever was as a senate staffer for the senior Democrat from New York. Thanks to Bharara, Cuomo is a beaten man and Schumer is the top Democrat Dog in New York.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3872239785607728837.post-4237664965417120372015-02-17T09:18:35.684-05:002015-02-17T09:18:35.684-05:00Preet is beyond reproach.

He’s under increasing pressure from his political left and from Mayor [Bill] de Blasio for being Republican-friendly, and I don’t think Dean fully realizes that,’’ said a source close to Cuomo’s office. *** Heastie is widely seen as even more to the political left than recently ousted and disgraced Speaker Sheldon Silver of Manhattan, and he’s making an ambitiously “progressive’’ agenda — including toughened rent regulations, which have long been opposed by the Senate GOP — his top priority, Assembly aides say....” ( See “Skelos seeks Cuomo’s support after clash with Democrats” by Fredric U. Dicker, 2/16/15, New York Post [http://nypost.com/2015/02/16/skelos-seeks-cuomos-support-after-clash-with-democrats/]). <br /><br />Dicker is also reporting that Dean Skelos is widely regarded as an uninspiring leader; and is suddenly feeling the heat from US Attorney Preet Bharara’s ongoing investigation of Albany corruption amid reports that Bharara is looking at Skelos’ outside income. All of that only has stirred up more rumors that Skelos won’t be Republican leader for much longer and is eyeing retirement.Galewyn Masseyhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/09210379476512207622noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3872239785607728837.post-76437349460486706062015-02-16T23:08:13.910-05:002015-02-16T23:08:13.910-05:00Preet is a political appointee.
