Governor Patterson Offered Joe Bruno A Job?
Fred Dicker of the New York Post is reporting that Governor David Patterson offered former Senate Majority Leader Joe Bruno a job as a “special advisor.”
According to Mr. Dicker:
GOV. PATERSON secretly offered newly retired Sen ate Majority Leader Joseph Bruno a highly paid post as a “special adviser” to his administration, sources close to Paterson have told The Post.

But the offer is also a sign of Paterson’s widely known unhappiness with Senate Minority Leader Malcolm Smith (D-Queens), who is just one vote from ending the Republicans’ 40-year-plus control of the Legislature’s upper house.

But Paterson was also described by sources as unimpressed with the quality of Smith’s staff, and has even been heard wondering how successful Smith would be leading a Democratic-controlled Senate.
Yet one more indication that Republicans will be successful in maintaining their majority in the state Senate this November.
