Patterson was one of the Isles top prospetcs in the late 70′s… He was very close to making the cup winning team of 1980…. He said after the dissapointment of not making that squad, he decided to retire and go into politics…..

I’d rather watch Bridgeport games all year than mingle with Patterson.

As promising as it seems to have Kate Murray attend this thing, I think its more of a political protocol thing than anything. When the governor of your state shows up in your district, unless he’s fund raising for the other party, as the town supervisor you have to show your face. As much as I, and every one else here would like it to be, I don’t think its because she has suddenly thrown her support behind this project.

The more politicians that throw their weight behind the project, the less the detractors will be heard. The good of the majority must prevail.

He is the governor and of course has his own motives. This is a positive it has a lot to do with the labor unions who are very powerful and Democrats. But this is not about politics its about money and power. The recession will be the main reason that this will be approved. However raising private capital to finance the deal will be tough in the present economic environment. However first things first.

Not a huge Paterson fan, but appreciate him putting his neck out for this project and bringing some some high-profile attention to the Isles.

Stuff like this buys goodwill with voters like me, and who knows…maybe he won’t get pulverized by Andrew Cuomo in the primary after all.

(13)- Agreed.
Wang should ask some players to show up for support as well. It would draw more people.
