STATEMENT ON THE RESIGNATION
OF GOVERNOR ELIOT SPITZER

New York - "In this difficult time, New Yorkers can feel confident in having our state government in the capable hands of David Paterson.

In the coming weeks, New Yorkers will come to know the Governor-in-waiting as I have known him: as a humble man of honor and integrity who in over twenty years of public service has shown an ability to work with leaders across the political spectrum. He is a dedicated and experienced public official who is sure to bring all of his skills of leadership to address the challenges facing our state.

As Chairman of the Ways of Means Committee and Dean of the New York State Congressional delegation, I look forward to working closely with him on the many federal issues that impact the people of New York."
