WBNG-TV reported on Paterson's State of the State Address. As WBNG related: In his second State of the State address, Governor David A. Paterson today outlined his plan to rebuild New York through firm and decisive steps ,including fiscal and ethics reform and an economic development plan that puts New Yorkers back to work.
