MINEOLA, N.Y. - Agreement in Albany over leadership of the state Senate did not end a dispute over whether Gov. David Paterson is constitutionally permitted to appoint a lieutenant governor.

David Lewis, a Senate attorney for one of the petitioners, says Paterson's appointment of Richard Ravitch is unconstitutional. |
