(NYT) — Gov. David A. Paterson misled state investigators about his acceptance of free tickets to the World Series last year, according to the independent counsel, Judith S. Kaye, who has asked the Albany County district attorney to determine whether Mr. Paterson should be charged with perjury.
A report issued by Ms. Kaye on Thursday found that Mr. Paterson “was inaccurate and misleading” when he told state ethics investigators in February that he had always intended to pay for four $425 tickets he obtained for guests he brought to the opening game at Yankee Stadium, including his son and his son’s friend.
