Albany, NY — Huge scandals have surrounded top officials in New York State government in recent years.
In March of 2008, Governor Eliot Spitzer resigned. It came just days after the world found out Spitzer had patronized a prostitute. Spitzer was elected in 2006 on a promise to tackle corruption but left in scandal.
“New York State, unfortunately, has a fairly let’s say tarnished reputation for corruption.” said Dr. Robert Spitzer, a political science professor at SUNY Cortland (no relation to Eliot Spitzer). “In the previous decade New York was ranked as the most corrupt state government in the country.”
Political scandals and corruption have brought down some of the most powerful men in New York State.
