Maybe We are on to something with the Blue states with Republican governors--
NYS Budget
10/29/2006
(WROC-TV)
New York State is on track for an over $1 billion surplus for the 2006-2007 fiscal year. The mid-year report is due out Monday. It points to better than expected economic growth and lower spending levels for the surplus. The extra money will head to several funds, including the state's Rainy Day Reserve fund.
The surplus also gives state reserves a boost. The Governor's office reports over $3 billion in total reserves.
maybe one of the reasons why ny is at a surplus has to do with fact that pataki was an accountant in his prior life. so that should be an opening for bbc to run for office. we know he would get the gamblers vote.
