Pressing Paterson

This guy is no better then Spitzer, and I am not talking about the sex angle. T

David Paterson has been violating election laws with regard to campaign monies going way back. And, there remains that questionable and seemingly expenditure to a consulting company by his campaign committee, to the tune of $119,500.00. The company is owned by none other then his campaign treasurer, Joan Flowers.

My question is, "Why should a key member of his campaign staff be giving business to that members company?" And the advice she had previously given to another politician landed him in hot water to the tune of a $68,000.00 fine for sloppy bookkeeping by Ms. Flowers.

I can hardly wait unitl the audit comes out on Paterson's campaign finances.

Could Paterson end up in jail like Clarance Norman?

At any rate, we need to do all we can to clean up the Governor's mansion and restore some sence of decency to Albany. We are becoming the laughing stock of the rest of the country. My out of state friends remind me of that very fact daily with their emails.
