N.Y. GOP Calling for Spitzer to Resign

NEW YORK (1010 WINS/AP)
-- A top Republican state lawmaker is threatening to push for
impeachment proceedings against Gov. Eliot Spitzer if he doesn't resign
in the next 48 hours because of a sex scandal.



Assembly Minority Leader James Tedisco says the state can't have the governor's prostitution scandal hanging over its head.



Tedisco would need support from the Democratic majority in the Assembly to get articles of impeachment to the floor.



The scandal erupted Monday when a law enforcement official identified
Spitzer as ``Client 9'' in an alleged prostitution ring.



"Client 9'' paid thousands of dollars to spend an evening with a call girl named Kristen in a glitzy Washington hotel.
