Lombardi Named Finance Committee Chairman in Albany
State Sen. Tarky Lombardi Jr of Syracuse is expected to be tapped by Senate Majority Leader Ralph Marino as Finance Committee chairman. The post gives Lombardi power over allocations, budget drafting, and state spending, likely boosting pork-barrel funds for Syracuse and Onondaga County. Lombardi, a 23-year veteran, has long sought the post, though he had not yet learned Marino's decision at press time.
