Paterson May Not Call for Special Election
New York Governor David Paterson may not call for a special election to fill the seat left vacant by former Congressman Eric Massa.
Last month, Paterson said he would call for the election as soon as possible. But now he says he may not call for the election because of the financial impact it would have at the county level. In a news release, he says the Southern Tier counties that Massa represented are facing the same fiscal crisis the state is facing.
Without a special election, the district would be without representation in the House until January.
