Albany, New York: It’s going to be making of new history on Monday, when Lieutenant Governor David Paterson swears in as the New York State's 55th Governor in Albany. He’s going to be the New York State’s first black governor and America's first legally blind chief executive to serve more than a few days.

Spitzer's lieutenant for just 14 months, 53 years old David Paterson is on the way to be the chief executive of a state due to the abrupt resignation of Eliot Spitzer on 12 March after her was exposed as Client 9 of a prostitution ring called emperors club vip. Spitzer’s career as “Mr. Clean” politician ended last week, when he stepped down after he was accused of spending tens of thousands of dollars on prostitutes – particularly on a 22-year-old call girl, Ashley Alexandra Dupre, in Washington the night before Valentine's Day.
 
Graduate from Columbia University and Hofstra School of Law, David Paterson has been a Democratic state senator since 1985, representing parts of Harlem and Manhattan's Upper West Side. Paterson is son of Basil, who was a former state senator representing Harlem and later New York's first black secretary of state. His father was part of a political fraternity that included fellow Democrats U.S. Rep. Charles Rangel, former New York City Mayor David Dinkins — the city's first black mayor — and former Manhattan Borough President Percy Sutton.

"It's very daunting. I definitely feel anxiety ... but in the end, we have a job to do. And we're here to do that job." Paterson said on Friday.

Paterson is scheduled to be sworn in at noon New York time. Official reports say, Spitzer is scheduled to resign officially at noon Monday, and Paterson will officially take over as the New Governor an hour later before a joint session of the Legislature in the Assembly chamber.

Paterson’s political adviser, Bill Lynch said, “He is planning to keep everybody on for now until he gets a real assessment of what is going on there -- how the trains really run.”

While Paterson has started receiving calls from job seekers, Lynch said, “He ought to assess everybody who is up there, how things are running and in a few weeks start to make political appointments that are his appointments.”

So presently, Paterson has decided to retain Key Staff. Christine Anderson, Spitzer spokeswoman told that Paterson will retain Spitzer's budget director Laura Anglin, 42, and director of operations Paul Francis. Anderson also told that she was asked to stay through the transition and will stay as long as needed. Anderson said, “You will see there is a lot of continuity in terms of the staff. There won't be a lot of turnover.”

According to Anderson, top Spitzer aide Richard Baum has resigned but will stay to help the transition. Spitzer's senior adviser Bruce Gyory and first deputy secretary Sean Patrick Maloney will also stay on.

Paterson spent his Sunday catching up on budget details and preparing — and memorizing — his inauguration speech. As a new governor, Paterson will be in charge of almost 200,000 state employees and a proposed budget of $124.3 billion. The new governor takes office facing a $4.5 billion budget gap that he is trying to close before the new fiscal year begins April 1 to avoid emergency spending measures.
