Another day, another scandal. Governor Paterson can’t seem to get a break from the ever evolving allegations that are surfacing regarding his administration. An ethics panel is now claiming that Paterson received free tickets to a World Series game last fall, which is against rules prohibiting gifts to elected officials. The panel is also citing that the Governor lied when he told a court he would pay for part of the ticket costs.
When one looks at the present situation, it is interesting to see how counterintuitive Paterson’s actions in remedying his plight actually are. If he committed wrong doing, and then openly invited a panel to investigate him, he is either fully dense or does not understand the rules of the road. While one should assume a person in his position understands that he cannot accept gifts, is this truly the case? Did Paterson understand that what he was doing was wrong?
