Paterson Plans on Being Governor Come Monday
March 5th, 2010
Gov. David Paterson has official plans for Monday. He will be holding a town hall meeting on the budget in Brooklyn at 11 A.M. Does that mean we can call off the resignation watch over the weekend?
“It is important that as I work through the budget process, I hear directly from New York’s residents about their concerns and the challenges they face,” Paterson said in a statement. “I look forward to the meeting and working with New Yorkers to resolve the State’s budget deficit.”
The meeting will be held in Brooklyn Borough Hall’s Ceremonial Courtroom at 209 Joralemon Street. Members of the public wishing to attending can RSVP at (212) 681-7123. Seating is limited. Given the circus that surrounds Paterson these days it will likely be extremely limited.

Everyone whom has ever had contact with David Paterson and his cronies know that he and his crew were never up to the job of governing. David Paterson has managed to bungle every position he has had his in his adult life.
To get an eyewitness account of this bungling, one just needs to read the The Democratic Conference: Organizational and Operational Structure Report.

This report indicates that Patersons Senate Minority office, headed by former Paterson chief of staff and childhood friend Michael Jones-Bey, was completely dysfunctional and operated like a zoo. Now doesnt this sound like his current dysfunctional administration?
Not surprisingly, for running such a chaotic office, Mr. Jones-Bey was chosen by David Paterson to head the Division of Minority & Women Owned Business Development (DMWBD) at New York States Empire State Development Corporation. Now thats the Patterson way – being rewarded for your incompetence.

At this point in time David Paterson has dug himself in too deeply in a hole with no way out. Everyone from advocacy/good government groups; National Organization of Woman, Common Cause; to distinguished newspapers New York Daily News, New York Post; to politicians of all strips Nita Lowey, his own appointed senator Kristen Gillibrand, Bill Perkins; and most importantly the general public the latest Quinnipiac Poll indicates a plurality of the electorate want David Paterson to RESIGN NOW.
On top of this, David Paterson is at risk of CRIMINAL CHARGES in at least three yes three, not one, not two, but three separate investigations. These investigations involve whether David Paterson has committed OBSTRUCTION OF JUSTICE, WITNESS TAMPERING, PERJURY or PUBLIC OFFICERS LAW VIOLATIONS.
At this point in time, David Paterson should worry more about SERVING TIME in prison, not serving out the remaining months of his un-elected term.
David Paterson needs to RESIGN NOW.
