Posted by New York Gov. David Paterson is vowing to serve out his term, in spite of growing calls for him to resign amid two scandals.
Speaking at a Brooklyn church on Sunday, Paterson said he was determined to run the state through the end of the year.
He told congregants at Cornerstone Baptist Church in Brooklyn that he would “not be daunted or distracted by any forces.”
The attorney general’s office is investigating whether the governor, his staff and his state police security detail illegally contacted a woman who had accused one of Paterson’s aides in a domestic violence incident.
Separately, the state’s Public Integrity Commission accused him of lying to investigators about his intention to pay for tickets he got for the 2009 World Series.
