In a letter to be sent to lawmakers Friday morning, Cuomo's counsel Alphonso
David proposes the date and faults legislators for not responding to earlier attempts at coordinating their schedules «despite our best efforts.»
Gov.
David Paterson, who has been hinting for some time that he will likely move up the start
date of public employee layoffs from the January 2011 plan he initially
proposed (in other words, not on his watch), said today he will likely be forced to fire state workers before his term ends on midnight Dec. 31.
