Paterson's $21,000 Rug
New York State is looking at a $2 billion budget deficit – but people in the governor's mansion are looking at a $21,000 antique Turkish rug.
As Governor David Paterson was ordering state agencies to cut spending and warning of dire economic hardships, the rug was being sent to the mansion.
A spokesman with the Office of General Services says the 10-foot-by-15-foot custom-stitched rug was part of routine maintenance at the mansion.
