It seemed like a lot of dirt came out on him at first. Nobody seemed to care though.
Despite having a state driver to chauffeur him the 20 minutes home, Paterson, as lieutenant governor, sometimes chose to stay downtown because of a busy schedule, spokesman Errol Cockfield said."While he was lieutenant governor, Gov. Paterson had a grueling schedule that required him to be near the Capitol for sensitive negotiations, meetings with legislative leaders, and government-related conferences," he added.
"In some cases, he needed to be closer to the Capitol than his Guilderland home and he stayed within a stone's throw of the Capitol so that he could quickly respond to the urgent needs of the state."
One state-government source laughed at the explanation, noting that lieutenant governors, Paterson included, typically are not involved much in day-to-day matters and that Paterson admitted that, as lieutenant governor, he had no role in budget negotiations.

So if it wasn't budget-related (and with a $5 billion deficit he's lucky it wasn't) just what was this urgent and sensitive work that Paterson was carrying on that he had to stay downtown? We all know the answer, but apparently, few people care to call him on it.
Disgusting.
He is a puppet. Silver and Bruno are running the show and they despise each other. At least we are rid of Punk Boss Eliot FOREVER!
