Longtime Assemblyman Dick Gottfried of Manhattan is not commenting on the fate of Eliot Spitzer just yet.
“I think people are waiting to comment until we know what we’re commenting on. Everybody is following that notion. I am certainly,” he told me just now.
Gottfried is hopeful about Spitzer’s agenda.
“Governor Spitzer has been a leader in advancing a number of extremely important changes, and especially in the health area,’ he said. "Many of these are reflected in the budget we’re now dealing with. I certainly want those to go forward.”
As for the mood among his colleagues, Gottried noted, “People are just stunned.”
