Paterson wins Watertown Times’ praise

The Watertown Daily Times is lavishing some praise on Governor David Paterson, who will take all the love he can get.

Here’s the WDT’s take:

It is little wonder that New York Gov. David A. Paterson is rising in the polls. He has handled the state budget with straightforwardness and common sense. People appreciate that.

Even as teachers hit Paterson with a lawsuit, the WDT predicts that the Democrat’s tough-budget approach will win him more support.
