Albany is not described as the most dysfuctional state government in the nation for nothing! Even during the normally quiet holiday season, things are happening in New York's state capital.
The FBI is investigating the business dealings of Joe Bruno, the Republican Senate Majority Leader.
And Democratic Comptroller Alan Hevesi, re-elected comfortably despite admitting illegally using a state employee to chauffeur his wife, is reportedly going to resign this week in order to avoid indictment. The Times-Union reports that Albany County District Attorney David Soares has offered Hevesi the plea deal in exchange for him stepping down. Soare's essentially spared Governor-elect Eliot Spitzer the awkward situation of having to press the impeachment of a former ally.
