On this episode of The Capitol Pressroom, Irene Jay Liu of the Albany Times Union and Brendan Scott of the NYPOST will join me with the news of the day as well as some analysis of those lesser hyped, but still important elements of Governor Paterson’s State of the State address. The Green Party of New York State was blue in the face with criticism of the Governor’s performance this year – we’ll talk with a Green about their review of Paterson. And finally, 2 groups with very different expectations of the state’s role in “economic development” will share their reactions to the Governor’s plan to scrap Empire Zones and replace them with a newer and different model dubbed the Excelsior Jobs Program.
