New York Adult Entertainment: The undoings of a governorship
An Associated Press report announced the same day that a group of black leaders in New York City rallied in support of the governor owning to the fact that he deserves his right to due process and should continue on in office.
Richard Reddy, sociology professor, has been closely following what he refers to as the New York State government’s “legislative and civic train wreck over the past few years.”
As to whether Paterson should resign, Reddy said, “There are some very serious charges being made about the Governor’s conduct, but, of course, technically in our legal system, you are innocent until found guilty.”
Paterson served as former Governor Eliot Spitzer’s lieutenant governor. He replaced Spitzer in the middle of his term in 2008. Involvement in a prostitution ring led Spitzer to resign and all but disappeared from the political scene.
