March
12

Minutes after Gov. Eliot Spitzer tjndc5-5bhz7yiaywljbc6y6jw_thumbnail1.jpgresigned over his purported role in a pricey prostitution ring, Rockland County Executive C. Scott Vanderhoef, a Republican, issued the following statement:

“This is a very sad day, but it marks a new beginning for New York state,” he said. “The Spitzer tenure is now over, and the Paterson tenure now begins. We welcome David Paterson to his new position as the leader of the executive branch and we wish him well. I ask all county executives to join me in working in cooperation with the new governor toward a better New York state.”

Vanderhoef ran for lieutenant governor in 2006 on the GOP’s ticket.
