Ravitch is In Again -- For Now
Richard Ravitch is New York's Lieutenant Governor again – for now.
An appeals court judge has stopped a restraining order issued by another judge who ruled that Governor David Paterson's appointment of Ravitch was illegal.
Paterson's office issued a statement saying they are confident that the courts will ultimately confirm that the appointment was valid and legally correct.
The case is expected to go all the way to the state court of appeals.
Paterson appointed Ravitch during the month-long senate power struggle in hopes of breaking 31-31 tie votes in the chamber.
