Finally, Good News from Albany

After weeks of bad news coming out of Albany, I am pleased and relieved to learn that Richard Ravitch, my friend, will assume the role of lieutenant governor. I congratulate Mr. Ravitch on his appointment, and I applaud Governor Paterson for his wise and reassuring decision. Mr. Ravitch, an effective and proven leader, is the best choice for New Yorkers, and he will bring legitimacy and insurance to the current state of affairs in Albany.
