Sen. Kirsten Gillibrand has posted on her campaign Web site a copy of the 25-page questionnaire she filled out in order to be considered by Gov. David Paterson for appointment to the Senate.
There also is a copy of the two-page resume she submitted to Paterson.
The documents don’t reveal anything surprising about Gillibrand, who described her health as “excellent.’’
Paterson has said he had used the questionnaires merely as a way to find out if there was anything in a candidate’s background to disqualify him or her.
Some of Gillibrand’s entries on the forms are blackened out because they contain confidential information such as her Social Security number, the balance on her mortgage, her street address and her cell phone number.
Gillibrand indicated she has employed household help, but paid taxes on their wages and verified their legal right to work in the United States.
She also signed a notarized document authorizing the governor’s office to conduct a criminal background check. A second notarized document authorized the Committee on Judicial Conduct and various bar associations to release any records regarding her rating and performance as an attorney.
The only legal proceeding she was personally involved in was brought by her insurance company against a storage facility. The building in which she was storing her personal belongings burned down in November 2002. The lawsuit was filed after the insurer paid her claim.
