He put his gay lover on the state payroll (for a cool $100,000 a year) as a security specialist. Only, the guy isn't a US citizen (Israeli) and couldn't get a security clearance. He's reportedly also filing a sexual harassment lawsuit against the governor. If a straight governor put his mistress on the payroll, it would be a simple matter of corruption. It shouldn't be any different because this governor is gay.

New Jersey Gov. James McGreevey rocked the political world today by announcing that he is gay and will resign in November. ABC News has learned that a male former aide is filing a sexual misconduct lawsuit against the governor in a New Jersey court.

From the same article:

Cipel, the plaintiff in the lawsuit, is a poetry-writing former Israeli Defense Force soldier who, despite being a foreign national, was appointed by McGreevey to the homeland security post. Cipel was subsequently forced to resign the $100,000-a-year position.
