ALBANY, NY (03/10/2008)(readMedia)-- The stunning allegations of Governor Eliot Spitzer’s personal involvement in an interstate prostitution ring are a shocking disappointment to the people of New York. This is a sad day for Governor Spitzer and his family as well as for the citizens of our state.
It is hard to see how Governor Spitzer can hope to govern effectively while the political, governmental and legal consequences of his behavior swirl about him.
New Yorkers are facing hard times. They need a Governor who is fully focused on serving their best interests. Governor Spitzer should do the right thing, not only for himself and his family, but also for all the people of New York.
He should resign immediately, so New York's government can effectively return to serving its citizens.
