“This isn’t a subject of debate”
That’s Spitzer responding to a reporter’s question about whether there’s any room for compromise on the driver’s license for illegal immigrants business.
This is what happens when a member of the political/financial elite wins an uncontested election to executive office. He has no intention of listening to what people have to say. Why should he? Nobody can stop him from doing what he wants to do.
Here’s the whole quote.
No, no compromise. We’re right. The governor sets this policy, this isn’t a subject of debate from people, who are, Jim Tedisco who’s out there saying silly things quite frankly.
Sounds like he’s trying to temper his rhetoric a bit — qualifying “people” mid-sentence by singling out Tedisco (a state Assembly Republican who has introduced an act to indemnify county clerks who refuse to follow Spitzer’s edict).
Rather than painting everyone who opposes this measure as a raving right winger.
Well, that’s a start.
