Ethics Research

My partners and I decided to research the recent controversy about Eliot Spitzer, the previous governor of New York. Spitzer was well-known for trying to put an end to unlawful activity on Wall Street, but recently his own wrongdoings were discovered. He was caught on a federal wiretap arranging a meeting with a high-priced prostitute. He apologized for his behavior and referred to it as "a private matter." He talked about how he had disappointed his family and the public. He never actually came out and said exactly what he was talking about. Apparentally, he was supposed to be the governor who brought ethics back to the state of New York. I thought it was also interesting how the the governor taking Spitzer's place was already admitting to his extramarital affairs at a press conference a day after taking over.
