Missing Links

A reader draws my attention to the fact that on Eliot Spitzer's official gubernatorial website, there are no links (at least, none that I can find) to the sites of the other elected statewide officials, Attorney General Andrew Cuomo and Comptroller Tom DiNapoli.

It's a little different on the state's official site: there's no link there to the comptroller's office, but you can get to the AG's office.

For the sake of random comparison, New Jersey Governor Jon Corzine -- who gets to appoint the state treasurer and attorney general -- has links to those offices, and has links to the judiciary and legislature on the front page of his site

And in California, Arnold Schwarzenegger has links to all of California's statewide elected officials.

Is Spitzer trying to tell us something?

I think the links with pataki and spitzer are on the general state agnecy list.

During Pataki's first term, he didn't even have a link tot he lieutenant governor's website on any state website.

Lasted I noticed DiNapoli was not ELECTED to statewide office. And my guess is that it will be a while before Eliot will be linking to him. Given that, he is probably better off staying out of the business of linking altogether.
