If you think anyone but Spitzer created Troopergate, licenses for illegals - or that I, not the Governor, tried to sic the IRS on Joe Bruno - you are simply an idiot. As we say in Buffalo: bite me.

Why is the city passing up this opportunity for federal funds and state cooperation to make this parkway beautiful and functional for the community?? It goes through the most densely populated spine of the community. Its service roads carry the express and local buses, and a future bike route. Its overpasses knit the neighborhoods and parks on either side. For the past two decades, the community has watched its parkway being turned into an expressway. If you want them to embrace the CP plan's heavy role for the parkway (and I do), offer them some insurance that it won't get even worse.
