But the commission’s probe may provide “cover” for Spitzer, who could face questions from Republicans in the state Senate.

Spitzer told the Times Union the scandal involving his top aides is a major problem.

Although Spitzer said he’s answered all the questions about the scandal, Newsday has a few more.

One unanswered question is whether Spitzer thinks his top aides should have spoken with investigators from the state attorney general’s office.

Baum told his hometown paper he didn’t inform the governor of what was going on.

Spitzer signed a bill that could put congestion pricing back on the path to passage.

And he vetoed a bill giving health care coverage to some employees at Stewart Airport.
