Pataki defends welfare bill amid immigrant benefit cut
Albany reports say Gov. Pataki backs a welfare bill provision denying state benefits to immigrants in their first year. Critics, including Marjorie McHugh of the New York Immigration Coalition, call it ill conceived and potentially unconstitutional. The measure aims to tighten aid while sparking opposition from advocates who say only a minority of annual 100,000 to 125,000 legal arrivals would require welfare. Pataki also defends death penalty rulings and cites crime drops attributed to the law, as the Hale case nears appellate review.

Justice Tomei Challenged Death Penalty Scheme
Judge Tomei ruled the death penalty law unconstitutional arguing it punishes defendants by forcing a choice between prison terms or risking a trial with potential lethal injection. He condemned a scheme like New York's where death only becomes possible when a defendant exercises the right to a jury trial.
