According to The New York Times, Tedisco "clashed loudly and publicly" with Democratic Governor Eliot Spitzer.

2007

In January 2007, Spitzer reportedly told Tedisco, "'I am a fucking steamroller and I’ll roll over you or anybody else'".

Tedisco was noted for his opposition to Spitzer's September 2007 executive order directing that state offices allow undocumented immigrants to be issued driver's licenses.

Tedisco threatened a lawsuit if the plan was implemented.

On November 14, 2007, Spitzer announced he would withdraw the driver license plan, acknowledging that it would never be implemented.

Tedisco later accused Spitzer of cutting $300,000 of state funding for health care and education grants in the Schenectady area as retaliation for Tedisco's opposition to the Spitzer driver license plan.

Tedisco accused the Governor of "dirty tricks" and "bullying".
