Analysts Say Paterson Unlikely to Survive Term
New York Gov. David Paterson faces one scandal after another it is being predicted that he will soon resign from his portfolio.
“A lot of people thought he would get out yesterday. He didn’t. He had press conference a few minutes ago promising to defend it out and hold on through the end of the year”
According to a state report Paterson violated state ethics laws when he sought and obtained free Yankees tickets for the 2009 World Series and then may have lied about his intention to pay for them,.
He has been facing potential penalties of nearly $100,000, and the case was referred to the Albany County prosecutor's office and the state attorney general for possible criminal investigation into whether Paterson or anyone else gave false answers to questions by the Public Integrity Commission or backdated a check to pay for the tickets.
