A Paterson administration source tells NBCNew York the Governor distanced himself from the Ravitch planl, and has since distanced Ravitch from the budget process because he saw the legislature seizing on the
borrowing idea and
did not want to enable them to make
irresponsible decisions.
«I think it would be
irresponsible to
borrow your way out of a crisis, ride off into the sunset like you've
done something when all you've
done is subjected the next generation to what you had to live with,» Paterson said.
