Dems won’t turn over keys to Senate Chamber

Nyah Nyah Nyah… Oh, how I hate to see Democrats acting like Republicans. The New York State Senate did not meet today. Nobody could get in, because Democrats refused to hand over the keys.

The alliance of Republicans and two dissident Democrats is asking for the resignation of the secretary of the Senate, a position appointed by the Democratic conference that appears to have lost its majority. The secretary holds the chamber’s keys.

Sen. Pedro Espada Jr. is the new head of the Senate if the overthrow stands, as many now expect. He says that he if can’t get the keys to the Senate he will open the session Wednesday in another room, or even a park.

    The key here is “… if the overthrow stands”.

    Does anyone really know. I mean if it was legit and all why didn’t they open the session in a park today?

    Maybe the overthrown stands maybe not but all this strikes me as a bunch of posturing.
