New York Governor's Tax Return Faces Scrutiny

There is a lot of hoopla and speculation going around about David Patterson and his wife's 2007 tax return. It seems that some people are appalled at their charitable donation of $150.

Could it be that the governor is more generous than they expect by not claiming every dime from his charitable donations? Some people will find anything to gripe about. They feel that it is more conducive to their psyche by trying to seek out what they perceive is the worst in people instead of focusing on positive things. The governor does not owe them any explanation.
