A U.S. District Court in Buffalo will hear Fox v Paterson on May 25. This is the lawsuit over whether New York state must call a special election to fill the vacant U.S. House seat, 29th district. The district has had no representative since March, when incumbent Eric Massa resigned. The state says it will hold a special election in November 2010. The plaintiffs say the U.S. Constitution guarantees them representation before then.
See this story. Judge David Larimer, a Bush Sr. appointee, has already rejected the state’s attempt to dismiss the lawsuit. The state says an election in late June or early July is too expensive.
Some more cash to stimulate the economy — and also give the illusion that there is some *democracy* in the State ???
P.R. and A.V.
I.E. how EVIL CORRUPT is the N.Y. State regime ???
