Shelly Silver’s advice to embattled gov
Gov. Spitzer may have finally learned his lesson – and if he hasn’t, he’d better, says Assembly Speaker Sheldon Silver.
Democrat Spitzer has struggled to make the transition from pit bull attorney general to chief executive, Silver said in an exclusive interview with the Daily News.
Until now, “It has been too much of a battle, [where Spitzer felt] he had to fight with all guns blazing, and his staff really felt that way,” Silver said.
Spitzer aides were castigated in a report by Attorney General Andrew Cuomo last week for an ill-conceived scheme to embarrass Senate GOP leader Joe Bruno.
“Now, I think they’ve understood that they have to go forward more cooperatively, and I believe as a result of the experience that’s taken place, he’ll be better off for it,” Silver added. “He’ll be a better governor . . . as we go into the future.”
Silver, elected to the Assembly in 1976 and speaker since 1994, has been the man in the middle of the Spitzer-Bruno war.
