The rumors about Patterson and his two as yet unmentioned girl friends in Albany have been around for weeks. At this point nothing would surprise me.

Yup, that video conclusively proves what we've all suspected.  Watching it removed all doubt.  The scales have been lifted from my eyes.

Gov. Bruno!


although this may mean the antigun laws would get vetoed, wouldn't it then give the dims both houses allowing them to pass all sorts of new bans?

As per the state constitution:
height=8
In case of vacancy in the offices of both governor and lieutenant-governor, a governor and lieutenant-governor shall be elected for the remainder of the term at the next general election happening not less than three months after both offices shall have become vacant.  In case of vacancy in the offices of both governor and lieutenant-governor or if both of them shall be impeached, absent from the state or otherwise unable to discharge the powers and duties of the office of governor, the temporary president of the senate shall act as governor until the inability shall cease or until a governor shall be elected.

Basically Bruno would be acting Governor until November and would retain his seat in the senate.  This is very similar to how he currently has all of the duties of Lt. Gov. without the title.  The scary thing is that sheldon silver would then be next in line.

So is this thread just BS or is there a real possibility of him being removed from office?

that's good. I'd hate to lose the extremely slim control of the senate

If Bruno was the acting Governor he would also have the power to veto a Bill.

AFAIK if Patterson was to resign as Governor a special election would be held in November '08 at which time a new Governor would be elected to serve out Spitzer's original four year term of office. A regular election for governor would then be held in Nov. 2010.

Governor is 4 year term. I really don't think the people of NY would care if Gov Patterson smoked crack

Thanks, I had 6 on my brain because he was elected in 2006. If there was credible evidence that he is currently using cocaine he would be impeached if he didn't resign.
