Kathy Hochul seems like she will be a good governor, maybe even a great one. Her elegance this week comes hard-earned: Appointed Erie County Clerk in 2007 by then-Gov. Eliot Spitzer, later known as Client No. 9, she rose to Congress in 2011 after her male predecessor, Rep. Chris Lee, was caught up in a sex scandal.
That's hard earned??
Yep. It's hard work positioning yourself to take advantage of a bad situation that you might have had a hand in creating/exposing.
