ALBANY -- Gov. Paterson is lashing out at top aides for the growing
debacle surrounding what they consider a "corrupt" Aqueduct gambling
deal decision -- and suggesting that they'll soon be fired, The Post
has learned.
"He's become paranoid. He sits gnashing his teeth, looking around
for scapegoats among the people around him," said a source frequently
in contact with Paterson. "He's lecturing them, launching into tirades,
and he's demoralized the entire staff in the process."
In
response, several Paterson aides have signaled they may quit over what
some call his "corrupt decision" to give the lucrative Aqueduct gaming
contract to a questionable consortium that includes the Rev. Floyd
Flake of Queens, whose political support the poll-challenged governor
has aggressively sought.
