i love how politicians break out these huge sounding numbers and people eat them up and start complaining, but come on 1 billion dollars comes to a 30 buck per person reduction in spending. Come on, there is a ton more fat than that! Keep cutting.

Maybe he should just raise taxes as well as cut spending. Grow some balls Paterson. We know you can do it.

Your post should also include the $51 million being cut from aid going to CUNY, a sum that is without question crippling to the already dire situation at the city's public institution. Much like the cuts made to the state university system, these cuts will only further widen the gap between the quality of education offered at CUNY and other, more established universities.
