State of the Nanny State
-
- January
- 8
I listened to Gov. David Paterson’s state of the state address yesterday and for a moment thought he was channeling Westchester County Executive Andy Spano, one of the chief philosopher kings of the so-called “Nanny State.”
From the get-go, Paterson lost me on his initiatives to control obesity. Once again, he brought up the soda tax.
In any event, the “perilous” condition of New York, as Paterson termed it, will be the topic on today’s “High Noon” radio program on WXOX, 1460 AM and wvox. com. The show starts at 12 noon.
Joining in the discussion will be Assemblyman Adam Bradley, D-White Plains. You can join in the discussion, too, by calling 914-636-0110.
