Governor Paterson Fined $62K for Accepting Yankees Tickets
I’m not one of New York Governor Paterson’s biggest fans. He’s far more liberal than I care for, and I disagree with him more than I agree. But I do believe he tried to do what’s right. Which is more than I can say for a lot of libs. That being said, he did violate the rules by soliciting World Series tickets from the New York Yankees in 2009. I just wonder if New York’s Ethics Commission would have gone easier on him if he were more of a Left Wing radical. The Ne...
