Gov. confident public will support him after hearing his story
Speaking outside his New York City office today, Gov. David Paterson said he does not have any plans to resign.
“I am working on the business of the people of New York State, the most urgent of which is that we pass a budget (whose) deficit has now ballooned to $9.1 billion, and at a certain point, I will cooperate with the investigations and will be clearing my name.”
This is how he responded to a question about his dismal numbers in a Quinnipiac University poll released today:
“I think that people originally hearing about this thought that the governor should be allowed to clear his name, but then there have been a number of more articles with unsourced information, rumors and innuendo and inaccurate information that when cobbled together over and over and over again certainly have an effect. But the original response from people and when you get a chance to tell people exactly why people can’t comment on investigations until they actually get there, I think they understand and will support me.”
Paterson said he had no comment on the resignation Thursday of Peter Kauffmann, his communications director. Kauffmann said in a statement that he couldn’t “in good conscience” remain in the post.

why are we wasting time..i am sure the governor believed
he was doing a solid for his close aid..but he was
the governor..that means he had an obligation to let
the chips fall where they might…he had an obligation
not to interfere regardless of how noble he thought
his interference was…sorry but this governor has
to resign
What’s up, anyway, with all these chauffeurs and body- guards being promoted to top positions, a la Paterson’s buddy and Rudy’s “Commissioner Bernie Kerik,” among numerous others?
“Lord” Paterson in Wonderland or How Io fool all the voters all the time and not get away with it.
