Ultima Cumaei venit iam carminis aetas;
Magnus ab integro saeclorum nascitur ordo.
iam redit et Virgo, redeunt Saturnia regna,
iam nova progenies caelo demittitur alto.

Now comes the final era of the Sibyl's song;
The great order of the ages is born afresh.
And now justice returns, honored rules return;
now a new lineage is sent down from high heaven.

In a surprising move by the State Legislature today, the unpopular budget proposed by Governor Cuomo passed despite Republican control of the State Senate. Many have viewed this unlikely event taking place after the republican Senator from New York, "Al" D'Amato expressed to his colleagues in the State Senate that passing the budget would result in a "Great Opportunity for the GOP." During a private meeting enough state senators we're convinced to pass the budget, a source alledges. With the budget passing, Governor Cuomo is now most likely expected to file for the New Hamphsire Primary. If Cuomo decides to jump into the crowded Democratic primary he is most likely expected to become the party's presumptive nominee in next years Presidential Election.
The Economist, 1991

"For months as you know I've focused my energies dealing with the State's Budget Problems. The republicans have found themselves unable to resist compromise. They have finally found it apparent that their duty is not to partisan divides, but to New York. In their humility the combined forces of the Democrats & Republicans in the State Legislature have helped avert the state from certain disaster. I rest my laurels knowing that all the municipal governments have the ability to run and that the state credit will stay solvent under this budget. The 19 million residents of New York State, are content knowing that a compromise has been reached. With this I have decided to turn my attention to New Hampshire to run in that State's Primary and hereby announce that I am running to be president of the United States. I hope to restore the ideal of prosperity and equality to all classes in this Country and do in Washington what I have just accomplished in Albany"

Governor Mario Cuomo in a Press Conference December 19th, 1991

"What a load of B*&%, I should be Governor here not that Balding Wop!"

So does this sound promising as my first TL?
