In New York, of All Places

Late last night or early this morning Governor Andrew Cuomo negotiated a budget deal for the State of New York that, according to the Albany Times-Union halved the state deficit and made members of both parties claim victory.

The Times-Union included this quote: “What are the Democrats going to run on?” said one senior GOP aide. “Hyrdrofracking? Gay marriage is off the table, the MTA tax is off the table, the millionaire’s tax is off the table.”

In other words, the state government has managed to resolve the major political disputes in its jurisdiction rather than pumping them so politicians have something to fight about.


Sounds like government. Who'd'a thunk?
