Not that this is surprising, but some of Eliot Spitzer's top aides are getting ready to leave the Executive Chamber, according to the AP.
Several top officials in the Spitzer administration, some of whom were connected to political scandals that crippled the governor's agenda, are calling it quits, an official familiar with the internal moves said Wednesday.
William Howard, Spitzer's former public security adviser who was accused of helping orchestrate a plot to discredit Senate Republican leader Joseph Bruno, has announced his resignation.
The other officials include: Lloyd Constantine, senior adviser; Rich Baum, the high-level adviser job titled secretary to the governor; Marlene Turner, Spitzer's chief of staff; Peter Pope, policy adviser; Marty Mack, director of intergovernmental affairs; counsel David Nocenti; and Christine Anderson, Spitzer's former press secretary who was promoted to communications director when Darren Dopp was suspended and then resigned.
Again, this isn't surprising. This will be a few of the final touches to this fresh start we have received under Gov. David Paterson. |
