There’s a man waiting in the wings to become Lieutenant Governor but a court says he can’t take the job.
A State Supreme Court Judge on Long Island has issued a restraining order blocking Richard Ravitch from serving as Paterson’s number two.
The judge writes taht Ravitch was illegally appointed, and should nto be in the line of succession to the Governor’s office.
The appointment was opposed by Senate Republicans as well as Democratic Attorney General Andrew Cuomo who says there is no basis in the State Constitution for the appointment.
