Of Golf And Emergency Session Scheduling

Good thing Gov. David Paterson didn't call the Legislature back to Albany for that "emergency economic session" one day earlier. If he had, it would have clashed with the annual Speaker's Club golf fundraiser at which donors pay $5,000 per foursome ($7,500 to sponsor a hole) and the cash goes to benefit the Democratic Assembly Campaign Committee.

Joe Bruno revealed he remained unsure right up until the very day he announced his retirement about whether he actually go through with it. "When I was in here Monday when session was closing, I wasn't sure that I would actually pull the trigger to say I wasn't running," the senator said as the buss pulled away from the Capitol towards its first stop - the Joseph L. Bruno Stadium at Hudson Valley Community College in Troy...

How do I .... ??? Click + Watch = Learn!

Filed under: Tips , Saving Time All products, particularly electronics, come with some sort of manual or instructions. Sooner or later, you're going to need them.
