New York governor's top aide quits in tax flap
Article never mentions that both Paterson and O'Byrne are Democrats.
Gov. David Paterson accepted the resignation of his embattled top aide on Friday, after a week of escalating criticism over his failure to pay $300,000 in taxes over a five-year period when he was clinically depressed.

Earlier, a state official said Chief of Staff Charles O'Byrne's resignation was accepted with regret by Paterson, his close friend.

O'Byrne, who has ties to the Kennedy family, has said clinical depression kept him from paying taxes from 2001 to 2005, before he took the job titled secretary to the governor.
