Rivalry Blamed For Loss Of Central NY Board Seat
In Albany a Republican lawyer lost a Patronages post up to ten thousand dollars yearly, blaming his defeat on a professional rift with state Senator Tarky Lombardi Jr. Lombardi, head of the Senate Finance Committee, controls Central New York Regional Transportation Authority appointments. Richard Grossman of Syracuse was removed from the board after a Senate vote. Lombardi denied responsibility, while Onondaga County leader William Sanford suggested staff chatter hinted the nomination would be viewed unfavorably. The county legislature traditionally submits two names per opening to Gov. Cuomo, who selects the first, sending it to the Senate for confirmation. Republicans sought to replace Grossman with Hyman Miller of Fayetteville, recently retired from the county.
