Silver set to name Assembly leaders in party shakeup
Governor Pataki's budget timeline delays no relief for lawmakers as Assembly Speaker Sheldon Silver plans to announce a new majority leader and chair appointments. Bragman was ousted after a failed coup, retirements shift posts, and pay for chairmanships and leadership roles remains in the mix. Senate leader Bruno faces similar duties with little change in members. A political joke on voting reform follows Bruno's remarks about butterfly ballots. Silver appeared alone at a reception after Pataki's State of the State, sparking questions about unity among Democrats.
