Manhattan Adult Entertainment: Former New York City Mayor Ed Koch Calls On Governor David Paterson To Resign …
Now, former New York City Mayor Ed Koch (a fellow Democrat) is joining the chorus of those calling on Paterson to resign. Koch, who is leading a new, statewide effort to oust long-time state legislators from office, spoke to 2 On Your Side’s Aaron Saykin Friday.
“He should have stepped down a week ago,” Mayor Koch said. ”He can’t get anything done. He’s becoming the subject of ridicule. He has no clout. You have to feel sorry for him.”
Paterson lost a third top deputy Thursday when communications director Peter Kauffmann abruptly resigned after weeks of serving as his defending voice.
Paterson’s public safety deputy security and his state police superintendent resigned days before.
Paterson is now getting advice from an attorney who represented former Governor Eliot Spitzer. According to the New York Times, Paterson has sought the help of a veteran lawyer Theodore V. Wells Jr. He was on the defense team that persuaded federal prosecutors not to charge Gov. Eliot Spitzer when he was under investigation in 2008 for patronizing a prostitution ring.
