Sometimes children promise to share, only to turn around, grab the toys and run. It remains to be seen whether New York’s Senate announcement of a deal is just a childish promise made to avoid losing their allowance, or if they’ve really learned a lesson and will start acting their age.
Gov. David Paterson and leaders of the Democratic conference and a Republican-dominated coalition say they will share top leadership positions, share resources and staff more equitably, and rotate top leaders of the Senate.
Exactly how that will be done, however, is the business of the next two days.
Promising, but I wouldn’t put money on it.
