ALBANY – Denise O’Donnell resigned yesterday as Governor David A. Paterson’s deputy secretary for public safety, saying she had been kept in the dark about the possible intervention of New York State Police personnel on behalf of a close aide to Mr. Paterson who had been accused of domestic violence.
“I regret to inform you that recent events make it impossible for me, in good conscience, to remain a member of your Administration,” Ms. O’Donnell, 62, wrote to the governor in a brief letter. “Please accept my resignation, effective immediately.”
