ALBANY, NY  – Unable to agree on a budget, the New York State Legislature may decide to shut down the entire state government this week.

This will be the first government shutdown in the history of New York State and will mean a suspension of unemployment benefits, food stamps, welfare and state payments, and the closure of the Department of Motor Vehicles (DMV), state parks, and other public offices.

According to Governor David Paterson, “there is nothing to worry about. We are sending packages of food and car batteries to every household with an income lower than $20,000.”

The Governor is correct. Two million packages of a Rice-a-Phoni have already been distributed in New York City.

800,000 car batteries have arrived in Buffalo, Yonkers, and Albany. 

They also fit into your flashlight and your toaster.
