GOVERNOR HITS SILVER OVER PERV CURB

Governor Pataki went to war with Assemblyman Sheldon Silver yesterday after lawmakers failed to pass a proposal by the governor to keep the state's most dangerous sex offenders locked up in psychiatric centers after their release from prison.  If a recently freed rapist strikes again, Pataki wants to make one thing clear: It's going to be Sheldon Silver's fault.
