Gov. David Paterson raised the stakes in his showdown with the state Legislature on Tuesday. He told legislators that if they were unwilling to make $3.2 billion in mid-year budget cuts, they should give him the authority and he’d do it for them.
Hey, Daisy Ruiz of Fulton — the government’s looking for you. Edward Demm of Oswego, they’re looking for you, too, along with Linda Bristol of Pulaski, Keith and Carol Britton of Williamstown and Gaehnewrawenedya Printup of Pennellville.
It’s nothing bad; in fact, it’s good news.
Gov. Paterson held conference call meetings with leaders of the Senate and Assembly this week and said afterwards he’s open to changing his mind. “I’ll go back and take a look at the license plates because it has upset so many people. I’m optimistic I can find a way to replace the $129 million hole and I’ll reconsider it,” he said, according to the New York Post.
The city of Fulton’s first efforts at entering the real estate market have turned a profit.
The city this week approved the sale of homes at 470 S. 6th St. and 414 Park Ave. to new owners. (That’s the S. 6th St. home you see above.) The city seized the homes for having unpaid property taxes. Normally, local governments sell the homes at auctions, usually for the amount of taxes owed. But Mayor Ron Woodward had an idea: What if the city rehabbed the homes and sold them at market rates, just like any other homeowner?
Now, there’s an answer.
The cost of driving went up while you slept.
The fee charged for every vehicle registration and license rose effective today. And soon, you’ll be forced to get a new license plate and pay extra to keep your current license plate number.
