"It must be remembered that there is nothing more difficult to plan, more doubtful of success, nor more dangerous to manage, than the creation of a new system. For the initiator has the enmity of all who would profit by the preservation of the old institutions and merely lukewarm defenders in those who would gain by the new ones." Machiavelli
Con Center - Wait in VainBy DIA, Section News
Looks like the Governor is scrapping some state spending plans down in the big NYC.
Paterson said it may be time to admit to the public that there may not be enough cash to pay for all of the projects in the pipeline, a list that includes Moynihan Station and the Jacob K. Javits Convention Center expansion.Admit to the public! Psst. Here is a little secret. We the public know our government is flat ass broke and deeply in debt at all levels. Maybe it is time you admit to yourselves that the happy days of borrow and spend are over. I'd say the reality is that if they can't play "Pimp My Center" at Javitz, then we won't be building a new one here in Albany. Meanwhile, the people running the Albany Convention Center Authority, all on full time salaries and renting a full time office, claim they are all done with their work and will just be waiting to see if the state funds the project. We should find out in the next 6 weeks or so. Looks like its a 6 week paid vacation for those people. Your money hard at work. With the fate of the proposed Albany Convention Center undecided, authority officials say they are almost out of work to do as they await a final decision on funding.They will be "awaiting" on the clock.
