Where is the outrage for an elected official who has violated the trust of the voters? Where are the calls from Democrats to force Alan Hevesi to step down for the good of the people. Thus far, the calls have been muted.
Would they speak with such timid voices if Hevesi were a Republican? I don't think so.
Eliot Spitzer has noted that he'd change the culture in Albany upon becoming governor and that he would clean up the corruption and the economic mess. Now, that's all well and good, but thus far he's remained coy on how to deal with the Hevesi story. He needs to call on Hevesi to step down immediately.
Hevesi continues to argue that his wife needed security as a result of threats and that the driver was there to provide security. The problem with that argument is that the State Ethics Commission dismissed that argument on grounds that there were no threats to Hevesi's wife and the driver had no security training and if he ran into trouble would only call 911.
Hevesi is a flawed candidate and his ethics mess shows that he is not capable of running the state's fiscal affairs.
Technorati: hevesi, new york, spitzer, ethics, scandal, democrats.
