Lawmakers Are Banking on a Change of Heart by Pataki on Pay Raises
The NY Sun
By Jacob Gershman
An article about the possibility of lawmakers finally getting a pay raise from the outgoing governor cites the politicial football du jour, Atlantic Yards, as possible leverage against Pataki.
Legislators have some leverage over the lame-duck governor. The Senate can jam up Mr. Pataki's last remaining judicial appointments and Mr. Silver and Senate majority leader Joseph Bruno can use their power as members of the Public Authorities Control Board to derail the $4.2 billion Atlantic Yards development project, which could be up for final approval next month.
