Day of Transition


Lt. Gov David Paterson was sworn in today as New York's 55th Governor the Assembly Chamber of the Capitol. He replaced Eliot Spitzer, who officially resigned at noon today after acknowledging accusations that he spent tens of thousands of dollars on prostitutes.
NCC News Videographer Jordan Bernfield tried talking with about 20 people about their thoughts on Paterson. But only four agreed to be interviewed. They all looked forward to Paterson replacing Spitzer because of his recent personal troubles.
We'll have full team NCC News coverage in our 4:30 p.m. newscast, including a feature piece from NCC News Reporter Maite De La Rosa, who talked with DeaffGeoff from Hot 107.9 FM . He's 90% deaf and says people shouldn't discredit Paterson because of his disability.
