    State Govt Shutdown?

    Lawmakers, even those who voted yes, said they said they had to vote for the provision or face a government-wide shutdown.
    So now that the furloughs have been ruled against, when will the shutdown occur????

    Maybe NY can do what Ca is doing and write IOU's?

    I have a question:

    If NYS shut down, how long would it take most people to even notice?????

    I use EZPass so I wouldn't notice that no one was collecting tolls so I'd probably be clueless until my license plates needed to be renewed.......in 2011!!!!!!

    In reality, I would probably notice that there were no construction related road closures and that there wasn't a Trooper every half mile on the thruway. It'd be just like........the autobahn!!!!!!

    Woooooo Hoooooooo
