This has not left McCall much room to maneuver. Raised in Boston as one of six children of a welfare mother, McCall leveraged his personal success story and reputation for rectitude to become the first black man elected to statewide office in New York. As the sole trustee of the state's $105 billion pension fund (up from $56 billion when he took charge in 1993), he has more responsibility for investing pension money than anyone else in the country--and lately that is what has got him into trouble. The New York Post revealed late last month that McCall...

...more conservative upstate counties. In addition to slashing spending to avoid a state budget collapse (a $10 billion deficit is projected by March 2004), he wants to use money the state earns from a lottery to pay for college scholarships. So far, his roughly 13% support has hurt McCall and Pataki almost equally.
