Old state sedan keeps Carey in Mercury fleet
ALBANY AP The governor plans to keep using two aging Mercury sedans for state business despite a recent $26,296 purchase of two Buick Electra Park Avenues. A breakdown yesterday led to Carey's unmarked State Police car ride to a Health Department visit. The Office of General Services says the Mercurys have 60,000 plus miles and are due replacement, while officials say the Buicks may be sold at the next state auto auction unless Carey changes course.
