New York could be on the verge of having a governor who has never been elected to any office.
Nonetheless, there are many who suggest that the elevation of Richard Ravitch might very well be an improvement on things as they stand.
New York Gov. David A. Paterson controversially named Ravitch, a lawyer and celebrated financial crisis manager, as lieutenant governor in July 2009. (Republicans challenged the appointment, but the state’s highest court ruled it was constitutional.)
The state had had no lieutenant governor since March 2008 when Paterson became governor, Eliot Spitzer having resigned in the wake of a prostitution scandal.
Now Paterson is mired in scandals of his own.
He was heavily damaged by reports of his alleged attempts to intercede on the behalf of an aide who faced domestic abuse charges.
