The end of an error
NY Daily News - Editorial
Spitzer takes office in 16 days, and he has famously promised that everything changes on Day One. His reforms must include gubernatorial resolve never to engage in backroom deal-making with the Legislature. And never to mush issue upon issue upon issue into a giant megadeal in which nothing stands on its own merits. The era of this kind of haggling - you give me charter schools and I'll give you an economic development project but you have to let me crack down on drunk driving - must be over.
Well this is confusing. This description seems to point to the Atlantic Yards proposal as the prime example of a backroom deal that should be stopped. This is the polar opposite of the Daily News editorial from 12/10/06. Have they had a change of heart? Is the title of this piece a subtle clue?
