Disgraced Gov. Eliot Spitzer's resignation became official Monday, paving the way for Lt. Gov. David Paterson to take the oath of office and become New York's chief executive.
Spitzer's term, cut short after allegations surfaced that he hired a call girl from a high-priced escort service, officially ended at noon. He resigned last week, a stunning fall from power for the crusader who vowed to rid the state Capitol of corruption.
At his swearing-in as the state's 55th governor, Paterson plans to use his inaugural speech to project confidence and optimism, while relating his own personal struggles to New York's ability to overcome challenges, an aide said.
