Spitzer linked to prostitution
ALBANY — Gov. Eliot L. Spitzer, who came to office promising to change the ethical ways of Albany, has been caught up in a prostitution ring — a move that may cost him his governor’s post.
In a brief appearance before reporters this afternoon in Manhattan, he apologized to his family, and added, “I apologize to the public, whom I promised better.”
Spitzer did not mention a report in the New York Times of his involvement in a high-end prostitution ring, which federal prosecutors recently broke up.
The governor described his actions as a violation of his sense of “right and wrong,” and that he “failed to live up to the standard I expected for myself.”
