Albany, NY – As 2008 comes to an end, we wanted to look back at some of our favorite stories that aired on WRVO.

It was business as usual in Albany, with state lawmakers in the midst of budget negotiations. But everything came to a halt on March 10, when Eliot Spitzer was implicated in a prostitution scandal and 2 days later resigned as New York's governor.

Capitol bureau correspondent Karen Dewitt filed this report as the scandal unfolded.

WRVO is at a critical moment.

Recent cuts to federal funding are challenging our mission to serve central and upstate New York with trusted journalism, vital local coverage, and the diverse programming that informs and connects our communities. This is the moment to join our community of supporters and help keep journalists on the ground, asking hard questions that matter to our region.
