Developing: NY Governor May Not Resign
Developing: NY Governor May Not Resign.
The rumor mill has been working overtime. Yesterday I reported a story that had New York’s Governor David Paterson in the center of what is now rumored to be yet another Albany sex scandal, this one involving the Governor, a broom closet, the state police, the New York Times, and a woman, not his wife.
The AP is reporting today that Paterson “met privately with key Democratic leaders about his re-election plans as questions swirl around the state capitol about a variety of unproven accusations involving the Democratic governor’s personal conduct.”
Elizabeth Benjamin says resignation was a topic.
Earlier reports said the New York Times was going to run a story that included the Governor resigning over a sex scandal. Late yesterday afternoon those reports included the Governor’s office acknowledging there was a Times story but claimed it would not run until at least today.
Wait and see. Wait and see.
