Nothing sneaky about it. Just politics.

A partisan bill would have been to have the Senate AND Assembly confirm the new LG - so the Dems would have some leverage in case Gov. Bloomberg someday has to replace an LG. Sometimes, we're looking for sneaky motives when they don't exist(by-the-way, he's my Assemblyman and I called him on it. He sounded very normal in explaining it).

There will be no Lt. Governor. Joe Bruno will, in effect, fill that roll without the title. Latimer’s “bill”, so far as I know, never passed. There will be no Lt. Governor.
