NY Sun Wants An Answer From Spitzer

Regarding this case, the editorial board urges Spitzer to think carefully about how he will respond to Queens mom Dianne Payne’s request for help for her two youngest children. They write:

Mr. Spitzer, as the state's lawyer, could advise the governor - or the governor
could direct Mr. Spitzer - not to challenge Ms. Payne. The mother would then
only have to wait for Judge DeGrasse to rule one way or the other, avoiding a
protracted legal fight with all the powers of Albany. The state, the city, and
the courts have years to bicker about dollars. Rayshawn and Daquasia have one
shot at a real education. Governor Pataki and Attorney General Spitzer must not
stand in the way.
