By the spell the LAC show on May 8th rolls around, David Paterson should not be residing in the Executive Mansion. I do not worry who else resides in the mansion - Richard Ravitch, Andrew Cuomo, Pedro Espada, Mickey Mouse...But, it must not be Paterson.
Abandoning his race is not enough. David Paterson needs to resign. He has severely compromised his patronage and can not serve effectively.
For too long David Paterson has tolerant of his office, whether it be as head of the Senate Minority, Lt. Governor or as Governor, as an profession agency for his unqualified friends, associates, and gal pals – David Johnson, Clemmie Harris, Michael Jones-Bey, Gabrielle Turner, Indira Noel…. This routine needs to stop now.
His staff and all his friends that he has placed in jobs necessary to be cleaned out as well...GET HIM AND THEM OUT NOW.
This UN-ELECTED GOV needs to go now, before more damage is done and more of the wrong people profit from his appointment.
The David Johnson episode provides further evidence that David Paterson is only up not up to the task of governing. He does not have what it takes to govern effectively. “The Popular Conference Organizational and Structural Report” detailing the workings of Paterson’s department while he was Senate Minority leader in the New York State Senate is an even-handed assessment of this clowns ability to manage or more precisely mismanage.
