By Michael Quint

Oct. 24 (Bloomberg) -- New York Governor David Paterson's top aide, Charles O'Byrne, resigned amid criticism of his failure to pay $300,000 in taxes on time, the Associated Press reported. Paterson, a close friend of O'Byrne, accepted the resignation, the AP said, citing an unnamed state official close to the decision. O'Byrne, a former Jesuit priest and friend of the Kennedy family, said clinical depression kept him from filing tax returns and paying taxes from 2001 to 2005.
