| N.Y. spends $21,000 on rug for governor's mansion I'm sorry but isn't Gov. Patterson legally blind and cannot even enjoy looking at this $21,000 rug? I am so confused at people's priorities!! ALBANY — Times are tough, but evidently not so tough New York couldn’t spend $21,000 on an antique Turkish rug for the governor’s mansion. That purchase came as Gov. David Paterson was ordering state agencies to cut spending and warning of dire economic hardships to come as budget deficits mount to $2 billion this year alone. The Times Union of Albany reported today that Office of General Services records show the 10-foot-by-15-foot custom-stitched rug was shipped July 31. An OGS spokesman said the purchase was part of routine maintenance. Critics say government should cut waste before asking citizens to sacrifice. Elsewhere, the Texas House of Representatives recently ordered about $140,000 in items for its lounge, including antique chandeliers and big screen televisions.   |
