It's a miracle the Pataki Administration didn't go down in flames in their 12 years. But timing is everything and the reform bug and prosecutorial interest is only now starting up. After they smoke out Bruno you can bet that Pataki and Gargano are next. Gargano handled the sale of the Gov's and ESDC's NYC offices at 633 Third Avenue personally as though it was a fire sale and had to be completed by December 31 (as though a commission depended on it) so how to speed up -- why Gargano didn't do an appraisal for its value. That is a real slap at transparent government. So no one has any idea of what the property value really is. Of course Gargano signed a downtown lease too to commit Spitzer and Company for years to his choice of location and landlord.
This is the stuff that prosecutors should be having a field day with.
