Buffalo, NY – Governor Eliot Spitzer wrapped up a day-long trip to Western New York Tuesday by joining Mayor Byron Brown for National Night Out observances. Brown said the governor was touring the city to find out how the state can help improve city conditions.
"He's visiting neighborhoods throughout the city to listen to residents and to see the condition of our neighborhoods," Brown said. "He's assessing what can be done to help move Buffalo forward."
Earlier in the day, Spitzer delivered an address at the Chautauqua Institution. He was asked by reporters about the ongoing investigation into allegations that Spitzer aides used state police to track the whereabouts of Republican Senate leader Joseph Bruno.
"I read the attorney general's report. I made my comments about it that very first morning," Spitzer said. "I made it very clear what I knew. Now, I think it's time to let these investigations run their course. Let's get back to work."
During his Chautauqua address, Spitzer said the troubles erupted because he let his guard down, and let his passion get the best of him.
