My Faith in Eliot Spitzer is Vindicated
Eliot Spitzer has withdrawn his support for Alan Hevesi in the upcoming New York State's Comptroller's race.
And my lack of faith in Shelly Silver has also been vindicated. I don't know what he thinks is the possible excuse for this lapse on Hevesi's part, but I don't know what Shelly Silver's thinking most of the time anyway. "I forgot" or "I made a mistake" are no excuses for the top financial watchdog of the State of New York, and these seem to be the only excuses Hevesi's offered. If he's got a better one, I'd be curious to hear what it is. However, as he is responsible for making sure the State has strong financial controls in the first place, I cannot envision an excuse that would be acceptable.
