Glad to see that there is some sanity in the Empire State after all. Sorry Mr. Spitzer...no new illegal voters for you.

Senate Votes to Stop Spitzer Plan to Give Illegal Immigrants Driver’s Licenses



By NICHOLAS CONFESSORE
Published: October 23, 2007

ALBANY, Oct. 22 —

Spurred by overwhelming public opposition to Gov. Eliot Spitzer’s decision to allow illegal immigrants to obtain driver’s licenses, the State Senate yesterday passed legislation that would overturn the policy.

The 39-19 vote, which passed with the support of all the Republican senators present as well as several key Democrats, capped a debate laden with accusations of racism and demagoguery and warnings about terrorism and voter fraud. The vote also followed a raucous protest outside the Capitol, during which some opponents of the plan called for the governor to be recalled or impeached.

The clashes over the driver’s license policy overshadowed nearly all other business on Monday, and further dimmed the prospect for passage of major legislation that the governor and the Legislature have been negotiating for months, such as campaign finance reform and a property tax rebate for elderly homeowners.

The Senate bill is among a range of legislative and legal maneuvers Republicans are mustering to overturn Mr. Spitzer’s plan, which was issued by the State Department of Motor Vehicles in September. Assembly Republicans said they would try to attach a similar measure to unrelated legislation likely to reach the floor of their chamber during Tuesday’s Assembly session.

Their chances of ultimately prevailing on the measure may be slight, given that Assembly Speaker Sheldon Silver, a Democrat, supports Mr. Spitzer’s policy and has nearly untrammeled control over the flow of legislation in his chamber.

But Republicans are eager for even a procedural vote to put Democrats on the record on the issue. Some Democrats have expressed uneasiness with the governor’s plan and what they view as his failure to sell it to the public.

But when Mr. Spitzer emerged from a closed-door meeting with Senate Democrats on Monday afternoon, he showed little appearance of reconsidering his decision. He continued to argue that the new policy would improve public safety by shrinking the ranks of uninsured drivers and that his opponents had refused to face up to the practical realities of illegal immigration.

“It’s always good to have the conversation about why I believe what we’ve done is correct and appropriate and important,â€

Thanks for the information, Skip. Thank goodness there were a few Democrats intelligent enough not to buck their constituency.

You all have done a great job. Thank you again Skip for the pictures and the information. Thank you for the list of contact info realbsball.
