Statement on Darren Dopp

Statement From Matthew Walter, Republican State Committee Director of Communications

ALBANY, NY (08/27/2007)(readMedia)-- Darren Dopp’s actions have shattered the public’s faith in the Spitzer administration and New York State Government. Returning Mr. Dopp to the public payroll-- funded by the taxes of hard working New Yorkers-- is arrogant and an insult to the people of this State. It would further undermine people’s trust in Governor Spitzer.

Using the police to track and punish a political rival is against everything this country stands for, and there simply is no place in government for Mr. Dopp after the things he has done.
