NOOOOOOOOOOOO!!!!!!!!!!
You know, if Gerald Soloman (who served before Sweeney) had any say in it when he retired, we wouldn't be in this mess. He wanted his successor to be Roy McDonald, then a local Mayor and now a state Assemblyman. But George Pataki wanted Sweeney and pulled some strings. Incidentally, Pataki and Sweeney had a nasty falling out last year, and Pataki abondoned his former aide.
