No truth to Karben rumor

I’ve been hearing it from both sides of the political aisle  former Assemblyman Ryan Karben want his old County Legislature seat back.
But Karben said today that’s not true. Actually, he’s supporting the re-election of Legislator Philip Soskin, D-Monsey.
But people have asked him to consider it.
“My family commitments and my professional commitments don’t make that race viable right now,” he said.

Karben, who resigned from the Assembly on May 18, 2006 amid allegations of unwanted sexual advances toward a male intern, has it pretty good right now.
He’s got a lot of work as a private attorney, he’s working as Spring Valley’s deputy attorney, he’s holding the reins on a wealthy environmental PAC, he’s still “in” with Gov. Eliot Spitzer.
Hearing Karben talk you’d think the only thing he needs is a white picket fence.
But Karben said he is flattered that people would think of him for the Legislature seat, even if it isn’t going to happen—this year.

I hope he doesn’t go and run for office. He resigned as a state assemblyman for sexual harrassment charges. If he was so innocent of any type of wrong doing, he wouldn’t have left that.
Mr. Karben needs to forget politics, and not run. He wouldn’t get my vote.
Don’t run, Mr. Karben. If you were innocent of those things they said about sexual harassment charges last year, you would still be in the Assembly.
This guy is amazing. What an ego this guy must have!
