Time for a Vote

Assemblyman Mike Spano says its time for the state legislature to elect a new comptroller and for lawmakers to pass the responsibility for filling such vacancies to voters.
His statement:
“With the budget being released this week, New York State needs this vacancy to be filled and it is our job, as legislators, to ensure someone is appointed immediately. I am calling on the entire legislature to come to Albany today and hold a vote to fill this job, so we are prepared for upcoming budget negotiations.”
Spano continued: “I am pleased that the process to find a replacement was opened up to the public, but I think more needs to be done. I am joining a call to amend the State Constitution so that the people of New York will be able to vote on any appointed official in the future.�

He’s calling on the legislature to come to Albany today? Where is HE? They’re all there already.
meanwhile the governor and the Assembly minority leader
are having a stunning territorial fight …the governor
wants to appoint a qualified comptroller from a list
of three selected by a panel of three finacial experts
including two past comptrollers…McCall and Regan..
and shelly wants a political democratic assembly hack to get the job.
