		<description><![CDATA[David Paterson should be going to jail instead of only being nominally fined. 

Paterson has simply been a joke of a governor. He simply has no ability to govern. In fact, &quot;The Democratic Conference: Organizational and Operational Structure Report&quot; is an eyewitness account of Paterson&#039;s DYSFUNCTIONAL governing nature while Senate Minority Leader.

 http://www.politico.com/static/PPM110_demreportfinal.html

Paterson&#039;s office was criticized for PATRONAGE, LACK OF LEADERSHIP, INDECISIVENESS and INFIGHTING, in other words the office was a ZOO.  Those interviewed in the report indicated that its chief of staff the disorganized Michael Jones-Bey had no management skills, was neglectful in his duties – often boozing it up with staff and coming to the office with a hangover - and should be relieved of his position.

Amazingly, for running such a DYSFUNCTIONAL CHAOTIC office, the disorganized Michael Jones-Bey was picked by Paterson to mismanage the MWBE program at Empire State Development Corporation.

That is the Paterson way - being rewarded for your incompetence.]]></description>

		<description><![CDATA[Well he basically built them half of a brand new stadium. For Free.... I mean dang people, anyone slippery enough to be able to use tax dollars to fund private enterprise should have gotten season tickets for life... For free. Don&#039;t you know how much money the Yankees saved by having you pay for it? 450 million they saved themselves but cost you. And it&#039;s Patterson you can thank.]]></description>
