Communications director Peter Kauffmann is the third key person to flee Gov. David Paterson's scandal-marred administration in two weeks.
Kauffmann says he cannot continue in the administration plagued by the scandals that threaten the jobs of Paterson and those he directed.
His testimony and e-mails were critical in a state charge that Paterson illegally obtained World Series tickets and lied about it.
Paterson is also being investigated over contact with a woman who had accused a top aide of domestic violence.
