Stolen Buick and lobby reform dominate Albany week
In a tough week for Assembly Speaker Sheldon Silver, his 1999 Buick was stolen from a Manhattan curb. Republicans pushed lobby reform and environmental bills while Democrats attacked the speaker over Medicaid and Adirondack protections, with no word on who took the car. Senate leaders unified on reform, and a health care financing agreement secured three years of zero Medicaid cuts.
