Top Paterson Official Resigns
The cabinet official who supervises the state police has
resigned in the wake of a report of intervention by the state
police and Gov. David A. Paterson into a domestic-assault
case against a senior Paterson aide.
The official, Denise E. O'Donnell, deputy secretary for
Public Safety issued a statement Thursday after inquiries
from The New York Times.
"The fact that the Governor and members of the State Police
have acknowledged direct contact with a woman who had filed
for an order of protection against a senior member of the
Governor's staff is a very serious matter," she wrote. "
These actions are unacceptable regardless of their intent."
The resignation, at 2 p.m., came on a day when New York's
political establishment reeled at the news of Mr. Paterson's
involvement, with some of the beleaguered governor's few
remaining allies publicly suggesting that he should end his
campaign for election.
