Republicans rally against Spitzer’s latest driver’s license plan
Tagged: New YorkPosted on: October 31st, 2007
Senate Republicans promised Wednesday to delay or derail Gov. Eliot Spitzer’s new plan to make it easier to issue driver’s licenses to illegal immigrants.
Meanwhile, Republicans in the Assembly’s minority said they will file a lawsuit Thursday to stop Spitzer’s “illegal plan,” which was announced Saturday. Assembly Republican leader James Tedisco of Schenectady said it would “make our state and nation a less secure, less safe place.”
While the GOP-led Senate said it will continue trying to block the license program through legislation, and may deny funds in the 2008-09 budget, the Democrat-led Assembly has no plans to oppose the Democratic governor’s plan. “*
