The New York Sun reports that the United States Attorney's office in Manhattan may have evidence that a public official hired a prostitute from a prostitution service that charges up to $5,500 an hour. According to Fox News, Court papers identified Spitzer as Client #9 for the Emperors Club which he allegedly patronized on February 13, 2008. The link was purportedly been made via cell phone records.

Governor Spitzer is now expected to resign, the first sitting governor to do so in New York State history.

No doubt this will be seen as "just desserts" by his enemies but it's a sad day for New Yorkers and those who put trust in government officials, like Governor Spitzer.
