Susan Elan reports:
Putnam County Executive Robert Bondi underwent emergency angioplasty at Danbury Hospital yesterday.
The procedure was “a complete success” and Bondi is expected to be discharged soon, Deputy County Executive John Tully said this morning.
Bondi underwent a stress test at Putnam Hospital on Thursday and was immediately referred by the attending physician to Danbury Hospital where the procedure was performed, Tully said.
Doctors have prescribed two weeks of rest but Bondi will remain in contact with his staff, Tully said.
During Bondi’s absence, management responsibilities will be shared by Tully and Lisa Denig, Bondi’s chief of staff.
Under the county charter, Personnel Director Paul Eldridge, the first acting county executive, would sign legal contracts.
Bondi is a five-term Republican. His illness comes in the midst of a contentious process with the largely Republican Legislature to finalize a 2008 county budget.
