		<description><![CDATA[A power shift has taken place in Albany today, according to this story from the Albany Times Union. Dean Skelos is the new majority leader after Senators Hiram Monserrate, D-Queens, and Pedro Espada, D-Bronx switched their allegiance. Thus ends Malcolm Smith&#8217;s tenure as majority leader.
Meanwhile, the Web site for biweekly political paper City Hall says [...]]]></description>

		<description><![CDATA[Here&#8217;s another example, this one two years old, of the way Steve Pigeon&#8217;s political committees are alleged to steer money to candidates illegally.
On September 15, 2006, the Pigeon-controlled PAC Citizens for Fiscal Integrity paid &#8220;RUR Strategy Group&#8221; $9,000 in consulting fees, according to CFI&#8217;s campaign finance disclosure forms.
That should be &#8220;RWR,&#8221; not &#8220;RUR,&#8221; and I&#8217;m [...]]]></description>

		<description><![CDATA[Throughout the Sam Hoyt-Barbra Kavanaugh campaign and after it, Hoyt supporter Jeremy Toth accused Responsible New York—the commitee funded by Paychex founder and Sabres owner Tom Golisano and managed by former Erie County Democratic Party chairman Steve Pigeon—of illegally coordinating its activities with Kavanaugh&#8217;s operation.

In the wake of last week&#8217;s primary, County Democratic Chairman Len Lenihan seems assured of winning another term when the part re-organizes this week. But that hasn&#8217;t stopped those who sought to unseat him from continuing their campaign. This flier arrived in today&#8217;s mail at the [...]]]></description>

Tom Golisano just called to say that I&#8217;m wrong to suggest Steve Pigeon is making any money administering the Responsible New York committee. He says Pigeon is a volunteer for Responsible New York, that he is receiving no consulting fees whatsoever.

In the last month, Responsible New York—the PAC created with $5 million of Tom Golisano&#8217;s money and operated by political hack Steve Pigeon—has issued $139,650 to Landen, LLP.
