Just make it stop
It looks like there might be some resolution to the state Senate drama. Pedro Espada tells the New York Post that he's headed back to the Democratic caucus. And the Republicans seem resigned to it happening.
Say Something!
We'd really like you to take part in the conversation here at All Over Albany. But we do have a few rules here. Don't worry, they're easy. The first: be kind. The second: treat everyone else with the same respect you'd like to see in return. Cool? Great, post away. Comments are moderated so it might take a little while for your comment to show up. Thanks for being patient.

Props to NYS Comptroller DiNapoli for suspending Senate pay so that Espada could no longer pay his legal bills and having no choice but to return.

So, we're right back to where we were exactly 32 days ago. This confirms the theory! If you make a threat/promise you'd better follow-thru or else people will think you're bluffing. Apparently D.Patt had a better hand than Pedro. It'll be interesting to see how this whole "appointment of the Lt." will turn out. *GROAN* So are the days of our lives.....

But if the news I hear is correct the Dems have promoted him for his truly exemplary behavior. He was quoted as saying he did it all the for the good of the state...holy crap Now he is the leader of democrats in the Senate? Politics a truly incomprehensible.
