Governor Paterson says that he has no plans to disband the Lower Manhattan Development Corporation. Earlier this week in a Wall Street Journal op-ed, Mayor Bloomberg suggested that the governor break up the agency, calling it "one redundant layer of bureaucracy." But Paterson does not think that the mayor's idea is an option, saying, "The way the LMDC works is there are resources that would be coming available that we would have to give up to shut the LMDC down." He also said that it may not even be legally possible to get rid of it.

"I know" says Paterson, "let's form a committee to oversee the LMDC. Now I suggest we form quorum to parlay the idea of a committee. Hmmm, let's contact the Legislature about forming a quorum to discuss the idea of forming a committee. Phew, I'm exhausted. Let's do this after our vacation."
How about we make a frickin' park around the foot prints and sell the rest to the market.
