http://thecaucus.blogs.nytimes.com/2007/07/21/romney-aide-resigns/A top aide to Mitt Romney has resigned amid accusations that he impersonated a police officer and distributed fake badges to staff.
Jay Garrity, who had been on leave from his position as the Romney campaign’s director of operations since earlier impersonation allegations surfaced, stepped down Friday following a report in The Boston Herald in which unidentified people accused him of distributing badges to members of the advance team to gain early access to event venues, control crowds and reporters and avoid paying a highway toll.
Mr. Garrity denied the charges in a statement to The Associated Press:
I have resigned from the Mitt Romney for President campaign so that the media attention on me will not become a distraction to the campaign’s efforts.
I am completely confident that I will be cleared of any wrongdoing because the allegations being made against me are demonstrably false.
Yeah right. :sarcasm:
