SPITZER'S LEGACY: A $3.6M PROBE TAB
By BRENDAN SCOTT
April 13, 2008 -- Eliot Spitzer's political and sexual shenanigans are costing taxpayers upwards of $3.6 million.
**SNIP**
This month, Attorney General Andrew Cuomo launched his second look at the Dirty Tricks saga: a far-reaching probe into whether Spitzer ordered the State Police to gather intelligence on Senate Majority Leader Joe Bruno. It should double the estimated $150,000 the attorney general's office spent on the initial report that sparked the Spitzer's troubles last year.
Meanwhile, the State Investigation Commission has launched an investigation of the investigations - those by the attorney general, the state Senate, the state inspector general, the Albany district attorney and the state Public Integrity Commission. That'll cost at least $70,000.

correction, his father is loaded. Spitzer stays on 5th ave, right across from central park, rent free, in one of his dad’s buildings. Actually saw him today, sitting in the park, right south of the Met Art Museum.
Nothing better than taking in the city before being placed behind bars...
"Gotcha Eliot."
