NY Governor in Trouble over Campaign Loan

Dirty politics New York style. And this guy is supposed to be an enemy of corruption:

Republicans are looking to subpoena records held by Gov. Spitzer and his 82-year-old megamillionaire father, Bernard, dealing with a controversial $5 million loan that helped Spitzer get elected attorney general in 1998, The Post has learned.

The unprecedented subpoenas - which would represent a major escalation in the ongoing war between Democrat Spitzer and the state Senate GOP - were requested Friday by Senate Investigations Committee Chairman George Winner (R-Elmira.)

Winner, in a letter to Elections Committee Chairman Sen. Joseph Griffo (R-Utica,) wrote that a recent profile of Spitzer in New York magazine suggested the governor broke state election law in obtaining a loan that helped bankroll his first winning campaign for attorney general.
