Newly inaugurated 55th Governor of the New York state David A. Paterson has told journalists about his adultery. He may face jail for his testimony. According to the New York state law, which seems to be less known among their governors, person committing adultery may be reattributed to jail up to 90 days or pay $500 fee according to Columbia Spectator newspaper (University of Columbia).
Blind Afro-American governor David A. Paterson is the first black governor in NY history. He replaced sex addict Eliot Spitzer who had to leave his position for scandalous relationship with elite prostitute Ashley Dupre. Soon after becoming Governor Mr. Peterson decided to testify his unfaithfulness to the media before they would dig it out themselves.
According to him, he was seeing another woman for two years back in 1999 when he was having issues with his spouse. As he also says, his wife wasn’t an innocent cheated victim; she also cheated on him during that period.
His spouse, Michelle Peterson, was present at her husband’s talk with journalists and approved all of his words. Petersons declared that they don’t want to hide their past and now they are having absolutely different relationship. They say they are glad they could make it through the bad times and kept their marriage. And that wasn’t it.
Peterson made another testimony. He said that when he was young he took drugs like cocaine and weed.
What a messy role model for american kids on one hand, but on the other hand it is awesome when people can admit their mistakes and promise to be honest. He’s not that bad, I guess, there are also very unifying remarks he made during his inauguration:
We are Asian, white, Hispanic and black. We are upper middle class and social service customers. We are homeowners, landlords, tenants, cooperators and even the homeless. We send our children to public and private schools, and yet New Yorkers, in spite of the perceived problems inherent in our differences, we have an immense opportunity, if we start to look at who we are, and what we can be. God bless you all for coming today, and God bless the great State of New York.”
