This might cause a problem or two for Ms. Gillibrand. And maybe for Mr. Paterson…but probably not for Mr. Cuomo. From The Village Voice:
No one familiar with Gillibrand’s rapid political ascent would question the pivotal role that Rutnik has played in it, milking his wide-ranging political connections for his daughter.
The governor’s office has made it clear that Caroline Kennedy was submarined by questions she couldn’t answer in the vetting process, ostensibly involving taxes and a nanny. But it’s unclear if Paterson has even considered the possibility that as he and Gillibrand prepare for their 2010 campaigns, her family could be dogged by conflict of interest allegations.
