NYS Gov. Eliot Spitzer has vetoed a bill that would have allowed NYS Troopers to resume plea-bargaining in traffic cases – according to a report by the Times Herald Record. “In deciding to enforce this policy, the superintendent of the state police rightly recognized that allowing troopers to negotiate dispositions of cases in which they are also the accuser and a potential witness may lead to charges of impropriety, favoritism and corruption,” Spitzer wrote in his veto.

Gov. Shpitzer, this is probably the worst week in your career for you to be preaching to us about charges of impropriety and corruption. Open a newspaper and read what it says about you and your staff of phoney croneys!
YW, instead of a police car, you should put a big picture of the Shpitzer governor…….
This ticket thing is nothing. People should open their eyes and see what kind of spiritual catasrophe Sptizer is causing, between his definition of marraige and his approval of the Catskills casino.
Correct me if I am wrong, I thought Pataki set this up before leaving office, Spitzer said he would change it back to having State Troopers plea-bargain since every up-state DA was upset with all the added cases they would have to deal with-
