Sen. Dale Volker believes he was followed by someone in law enforcement last summer at the time Senate Republicans were beginning to investigate a scheme by the former Spitzer administration to use the State Police to try to smear GOP Senate Majority Leader Joseph Bruno.Volker, a Depew Republican, made his comments during a confirmation hearing for Harry Corbitt, who has been nominated by Gov. David Paterson to become superintendent of the embattled State Police.The veteran lawmaker, who also retold a story of being wiretapped decades ago by Gov. Nelson Rockefeller, later told reporters that people who were connected to Eliot Spitzer during his days as attorney general may have been involved in following him last summer in Albany.
“Maybe I don’t want to believe it was somebody from the State Police, but somebody was watching me,” Volker told reporters after the Corbitt hearing.
