York Governor Eliot Spitzer Resigns
Gov. Eliot Spitzer announced Wednesday that he is resigning, completing a spectacular fall from power for a politician whose once-promising career imploded amid allegations that he paid thousands of dollars for high-end prostitutes. ''I look at my time as governor with a sense of what might have been,'' Spitzer said, with his expressionless wife, Silda, standing at his side. ''There is much more to be done, and I cannot allow my private failings to disrupt the people's work.''
