Albany, NY – Steamroller Spitzer Is At It Again

Albany, NY – Gov Spitzer privately threatened the Business Council after it criticized his record-high budget.

Council leaders were bluntly told that their organization wouldn't be consulted on critical tax policy and economic decisions if they didn't stop criticizing Spitzer and praising the Senate GOP.

The self-styled steamroller governor had an explosive telephone exchange with Business Council President Kenneth Adams, just hours after a testy meeting between Adams and Spitzer chief-of-staff Richard Baum.
