The state legislature is back for another round in Albany and Gov. David Paterson is threatening to keep them there until they do something responsible about New York's budget problems.
Since there are only a handful of people in the Assembly and Senate who would be missed back home, that sounds like a good idea. Lock them up forever. It would take that long to get them to make any hard choices about the state's staggering finances.
If you've been following this story at all, you may be wondering why the legislators seem unmoved by the universal denunciation that rains down on them every day from other elected officials, newspaper editorial pages and virtually every student of state government in the country.
Wouldn't you think they'd be embarrassed? Want to do something?
