Governor Paterson has planned a 5:01 p.m. TV appearance, to speak to New Yorkers about the State Senate stalemate. And the rumor is that he might very well appoint a Lieutenant Governor—the Times Union reports, “The governor’s press office has assured broadcasters the event is newsworthy.” The last time Paterson requested TV time was to discuss the sorry state of NY State finances a year ago.
