To The City, To Replenish

Nassau Republican boss Joseph Mondello is making his first foray into Manhattan today as state party leader to start putting the Grand Old Party back on a solid financial footing.
Mondello has invited the party’s heaviest hitters — those who have given $25,000 or more — to a meeting at the 101 Club to introduce himself and enlist them in his efforts to rebuild the party, which is broke.
Since taking over 10 days ago, Mondello has “cleaned house” according to one aide, ending eight or nine the consulting contracts the party has maintained, except for that of fundraiser extraordinaire Cathy Blaney, who has worked for both former Sen. Alfonse D’Amato, Gov. George Pataki and New York City Mayor Michael Bloomberg.
Still unsettled is selection of a new GOP executive director, though Mondello aides say that John Haggerty, who has come under attack in some quarters, remains a leading contender and might be hired this week.

I find it interesting that the Republicans have chosen the man under whose watch Nassau finances were run into the ground, at the expense of the taxpayers, to lead the state party. The Republican Party in Nassau, with Mondello in control, suffered defeat after squandering tax payer dolloars and running up a huge deficit. It is no wonder that the voting public is finally waking up to the fact that the Republicans are not the friends of the taxpayers taht they claim to be.
