(Of course, they could have done the smart thing and had Clarke on board from the get-go; but better late than never, I suppose. Bumped. - promoted by Bouldin)
Some Richard Clarke guy is endorsing Governor Eliot Spitzer's plan to allow all individuals inside the borders of New York State to obtain a driver's license:
From the Buffalo News:
A former White House counter-terrorism chief is endorsing Gov. Eliot Spitzer's policy to give driver's licenses to illegal immigrants.
The backing by Richard A. Clarke, who has served as a senior White House adviser in the last three presidential administrations, is intended by the Spitzer administration to counter a growing stream of opposition to the plan by Democrats and Republicans, including many in law enforcement.
The article, unfortunately, doesn't include any quotes from Clarke. Sometimes the News posts these things the day before they actually post a full article in the newspaper, but we'll see. I hope this is something that they can get a whole story out of.
UPDATE: The Governor's Office has issued some more information about Clarke's endorsement of this plan. There is a statement by Clarke regarding the plan and a speech was given by Gov. Spitzer regarding the plan and Clarke's backing of the plan.
I agree with Michael. This should've been done from the start, but it certainly is better late than never. |
