This week Governor George E. Pataki vetoed nearly $3 billion of spending plans proposed by the state legislature, for reasons that have thrown Republicans, Democrats and New York residents alike into a bewildering whirlwind of confusion.Pataki claimed that his actions were meant to avoid irresponsible future deficits, but the onslaught of budget vetoes by the lame-duck Republican cannot be seen as anything but a desperate attempt to change his image of ultimate mediocrity.

Sitting with a buddy of mine at Pano's on the Elmwood strip the other night, our usual conversations of work and girls and general ranting drifted into a bit of reminiscing, and as I looked around at the different late-night diners and servers, I got to thinking about just how much of an impact the diner experience has had on my life.It's one of those things I've always joked I'd write a book about someday: a little travelogue with maps of my various stomping grounds -- Buffalo during the school year, Rochester during vacations -- with stars on all of my favorite greasy spoons.
With graduation - and the loan collectors - a hop, skip and a jump around the corner, thousands of UB students will soon be looking for their first post-graduation paycheck, preferably with a job that's comfortably above minimum wage and doesn't take your four-year degree to ask if you'd like fries with that.UB grads will be competing with graduates from area colleges and universities, so finding a job in the Buffalo area may prove difficult for many."With 17 area college campuses in the region, our universities and colleges produce more graduates than are needed in this region," said Dan Ryan, director of Career Services.As a result, many graduates may consider relocating, away from friends and family, in search of fresh career prospects.While leaving Western New York may appeal to some graduates, students must consider several factors -- primarily what kind of salary they can expect and the cost of living -- before making such a life-changing plunge.Craig Smith, a senior pharmaceutical science major from Webster, NY, said he is eager to begin his future in pharmaceutical sales immediately after graduation."I'm going to go wherever the place with the biggest difference between the cost of living and the salary is," Smith said.Although he doesn't have a specific location in mind, Smith -- like many graduates -- said he dreams of a place where it is sunny year round, with beaches and zero snow flurries.But even warmer weather may not be enough of a draw for cash-hungry graduates.

Pataki has vetoed over 200 parts of the state budget, including direct funding for capital projects at UB and plans to extend the state's Tuition Assistance Program to part-time students."The budget does create fiscal difficulties, very real ones, for the future of this state," Pataki said at a Wednesday news conference in Albany, referring to the version of the plan passed by the legislature.Among the cuts from Pataki's various executive vetoes was money earmarked for TAP.
