You should know better!

Look at what you quoted.

How will having a license make accidents go down?

Also, in my opinion, Spitzer is doing this to piss in the faces of the State Senate that has worked hard to block him at every turn. Senator Bruno is a major pain in the ass who has had his fingers in all aspects of legal and illegal business in the Capital Region for quite some time. This licensing issue is one thing that the Senate can't touch.

What's more, if you look closely at what this does is it makes it possible for non-U.S. citizens with a passport to get a license.

If they are here with a passport, are they really illegal immigrants?

The kind of illegal immigrant that has no legitimate form of I.D. still can't get a license.

This proposal is no different than vacationing in a country and acquiring a valid license to drive in that country during the time of your vacation.

Spitzer isn't actually changing any policy... he's doing this because since he was elected he hasn't been able to deliver on any of his campaign promises.

He was the Attorney General and was used to getting things done without having to answer to anyone. Now, his attitude is one that causes resistance in the State Senate and they block him from doing the things he said he would do.

Yesterday he was on the news saying that he doesn't listen to the polls. The moron forgot that he listened to one poll... an official poll that asked all citizens of New York who they wanted to be governor.

The proposal will be pushed through on executive order.
Spitzer will fail to be able to show the corollary between a license and fewer accidents (because there isn't one).
The State Senate will be pissed that Spitzer was able to make policy without their approval (meaning: ability to stop him).
Spitzer will prance around trying to use this to show that he's making changes as governor.

More politics.
More nonsense.
