After the Post reported that Governor David Paterson was headed to Davos, Switzerland for a junket (a junket called the World Economic Forum) in the wake of his Senate appointment thingy, criticism mounted from not just the GOP but also good government groups. NYPIRG's Blair Horner told the Post today, "If New York state is in a crisis, he should be convening leaders' meetings every day, not flying around the world." So now Paterson has cancelled the trip, telling reporters, "I think I'll stay here." He says he was trying to drum up interest in NY business, but now "Because of this deficit reduction and the desire to get it moving as soon as possible, when I heard the question and thought it over I thought, perhaps it would be a better idea to go another time, and send a couple of assistants and stay with the legislature to work on the budget."
