Gov. Elliot Spitzer a/k/a "the Steamroller", ran into a snag this afternoon.
Sheldon "Stonewall" Silver, rebuffed Spitzer and his desire to appoint a professional to replace disgraced former Comptroller, Alan Hevesi. Over Spitzer's objections, the State Legislature overwhelmingly elected L.I. Assemblyman Thomas DiNapoli as the new Comptroller.
I guess everything didn't change on Day One!
On a side note, local Democrats should probably be happy that Joe Morelle didn't get the job. He will likely now return as Monroe Co. Democrat Party Chairman. He has been the best person in that job since Fran Weisberg left.
