UPDATE: Our press release on Sheldon Silvers War on Veterans earlier today struck a nerve. Responding in the Daily News, Silver tries to use misdirection to obscure the fact that these bills that would help veterans were killed in committee solely because they were sponsored by Republicans. Speaker Silver should explain exactly why Assembly Democrats killed these bills without any debate. Silver claims the bills were rejected because of technical and fiscal issues. What were the technical issues? Silver should go through bill-by-bill and identify these so-called technical problems. Silver claims he was worried about the fiscal impact of the bills. New York has a $138 billion budget and the only time Sheldon Silver is worried about spending is when it comes to letting vets go to the park for free. Silver has $420 million to give away to Hollywood, but he insists on charging vets admission to state parks? (see previous post for list of bills killed in committee by Silver et al.)
