Ellis Henican Column, Newsday, February 27, 2011 All eyes are on Wisconsin this weekend. Will the nation’s gaze turn to Nassau County next? Whatever sweet deals unionized teachers have been receiving in Milwaukee and Madison, you can bet they get nothing half as sweet as this: A $338,000 handshake on the way out the door, like [...]
“Paterson pours on the whine”, Ellis Henican Column, amNewYork, December 17, 2010 He’s really Governor Whiney now. You’d think that David Paterson would express some appreciation — perhaps even a little relief — as he screeches to the end of his brief and accidental governorship. Appreciation because no one ever seriously thought of him as [...]
“Andrew attacks”, Ellis Henican Column, amNewYork, September 24, 2010 Nothing focuses a front-runner’s mind like a suddenly tightening poll. A day after Carl Paladino snuck within six points of Andrew Cuomo in the Quinnipiac survey of the governor’s race, the Democratic attorney general leapt immediately onto the attack. His first shot?

“Paterson Election Campaign? That Was Quick”, Ellis Henican Column, Newsday, February 27, 2010 That was quick. After a short and exhausting campaign, Gov. David A. Paterson finally accepted what had been obvious to everyone but him: He really couldn’t run for election and also run the state. Neither had been going very smoothly. [...]
“America’s Funniest Statehouse,” Ellis Henican Column, amNew York, June 12, 2009 “These Albany people,” I was marveling Thursday, “they come straight from Central Casting.” Randy Credico, who’s been working for years in the capital on drug-law reform, begged to differ. “A couple of them,” he said, “come straight from Central Booking.” But this being Albany, [...]
“ETHICS TAKE A VACATION,” Ellis Henican Column, amNewYork, 6-5-09 Ethics delayed in Albany! Honesty in government forced to wait! Holy kickback, who would have expected something like this? Only someone who’d never driven within 100 miles of New York’s cozy state capital, where legislators and lobbyists never, ever forget who’s who. (Hint: The lobbyists pick [...]
