The Messenger-Post's Bryan Roth has a
long story, with some good local color, on the S-CHIP veto override.
Liz Benjamin has read
Eliot Spitzer's campaign finance reports, and she finds that Eric Massa is one of the recipients of Spitzer's largesse.
In the speculation department, there's a
rumor out that Jim Walsh (NY-25) is retiring.
There's a (small) possibility that Republicans will
not be allowed to add earmarks to bills.
Finally, I'm not the only person who thinks that a
stimulus package will grow the deficit and endanger the country's financial future:
"While much attention will be paid in the coming weeks to the contours
of a fiscal stimulus bill, no one should overlook the implication of
today's report by the Congressional Budget Office that we are heading
into the baby boomers' retirement years in a position of fiscal
weakness," said Robert Bixby, the head of the Concord Coalition, a
budget watchdog group[.]
Update: Reader Elmer sends the Corning Leader
front page [pdf] and
jump [pdf] with two S-CHIP stories. One covers the override, and the other has reactions from Randy Kuhl and Eric Massa.
