    “Silver said he thought a deal had been reached at 2 a.m. yesterday. A source close to the speaker said the mayor nixed the handshake agreement several hours later.
    In response, City Hall released an e-mail from Bloomberg’s chief negotiator, Deputy Mayor Kevin Sheekey, to the mayor at 1 a.m., which said the parties were leaving Spitzer’s office for the night with no deal.”

    The sliminess and immaturity of Sheldon Silver is disgusting beyond belief. An assemblycritter through and through.
