As the flooding in upstate New York cut off roads, swallowed homes and claimed the lives of two truck drivers, Gov. George Pataki was reminded he is governor for another six months.
Pataki had planned to make a swing through New Hampshire and Connecticut today as part of his fledgling presidential bid, but he abandoned those plans as storms worsened.
Pataki visited the affected areas this afternoon. “Homes have been lost,” he said during an appearance on CNN. “We have had to evacuate thousands of people.”
