Diane Patrick's Cheif of Staff Resigns

Amy Gorin, former Deval Patrick campaign co-chair and chief of staff to Massachusetts First Lady Diane Patrick, resigned from her post.

The resignation comes after controversy regarding Gorin's being placed on the tax payer-funded pay roll at a salary of $72,000 per year.

Gorin, Patrick's former campaign chair, also came under fire early last year when a testimonial posted on Deval Patrick's Campaign web site blog featured Gorin not disclosing her identity as the chairman of the Patrick campaign, instead showing herself to merely be a random supporter.
