	George Pataki - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
		George Elmer Pataki (born June 24, 1945) is the current Governor of New York State, USA and has held that office since January 1995, and as of June 2006 is the longest-serving of the current 50 U.S. governors.
		Pataki and Giuliani appointed the LMDC to distribute nearly $10 billion in federal grants and to oversee the construction of a memorial, though as of September 2006 the latter has not begun.
		Pataki came under criticism when it was revealed that he and his staff did not inform Donohue that she was acting governor the first time, until after Pataki had woken up and resumed power.

	Politics1: Presidency 2000 - George Pataki (R-NY)
		Pataki's friends have floated the Presidential trial balloon for 2000 -- and Pataki's creation of a federal PAC in January 1999 have done nothing to quelch those rumors.
		Pataki's ongoing, bitter feud with New York City Mayor Rudy Giuliani (R) -- Giuliani endorsed Cuomo over Pataki in 1994 and Pataki is trying to find a GOP opponent for Giuliani in the 2000 US Senate primary -- will likely split Pataki's GOP base of support in his home state.
		Pataki may be the only unannounced contender who could enter rather late and still be seen as somewhat viable.

		In a story today on the politics of appointments to the state Court of Appeals, Yancey Roy writes that George Pataki is unlikely to re-appoint George Bundy Smith, the most liberal judge on the court, when his term expires in September.
		But Pataki's decision on Smith presents a singularly interesting prospect: that he would be able to make a parting statement of his conservative principles, in the context of his potential run for president, by using his last remaining appointment to replace a liberal judge on the state's highest court with a conservative one.

	NEW YORK GOVERNOR GEORGE PATAKI'S ANTI-CHOICE RECORD
		George Pataki's self-described pro-choice position is at odds with his record.
		Though he claims to be pro-choice, Pataki's legislative votes and statements about abortion restrictions during his five terms in the legislature and first term as governor of New York have been consistently anti-choice.
		Pataki voted to cut off Medicaid funding of abortion ten times; that is, every year that he served in the state legislature, from 1985 through 1994, his most recent vote was June 6, 1994.
