Why is there such a double standard regarding the City and the County control boards ? Bflo's control board was "hard" when it came into existance. The Counties is soft, and seems to want to remain that way, giving County leaders 4 chances to craft a budget on their own. The City was never given any opportunity to do any of this. I wonder if it is because Pataki is Republican, as is Giambra. And he saw it as a way to punish the Democratic City ? I just don't get it.
