NY Post: PATAKI'S MAID AIDE
By FREDRIC U. DICKER and KENNETH LOVETT
January 31, 2005 -- ALBANY — The state Republican Party has secretly funded a personal servant for Gov. Pataki's wife, Libby, at the Pataki family mansion on the Hudson River, The Post has learned.
The servant — whose shocking existence on the party payroll was unknown even among the state's highest-ranking GOP officials — was described to The Post by two Republican insiders as Mrs. Pataki's "maid" and "personal valet."
The employee, Michelle Stubbs, 56, of Chester, — less than 20 miles from Pataki's sprawling Putnam County es tate — is being paid $36,650 a year, plus expenses, out of the "housekeeping account" of the state GOP, records show. The account is supposed to fund routine party operating expenses.
