ALBANY, N.Y. (AP) — A top
Republican state lawmaker is threatening to push for impeachment
proceedings against Gov. Eliot Spitzer if he doesn’t resign in the next
48 hours because of a sex scandal. Assembly Minority Leader James Tedisco says the state can’t have the governor’s prostitution scandal hanging over its head. Tedisco would need support from the Democratic majority in the Assembly to get articles of impeachment to the floor. The
scandal erupted Monday when a law enforcement official identified
Spitzer as “Client 9” in an alleged prostitution ring. “Client 9” paid
thousands of dollars to spend an evening with a call girl named Kristen
in a glitzy Washington hotel.
