Nassau Democrats’ quarrel over the reappointment of Eric Naughton, the legislature’s budget review director, has spawned numerous rumors, including one that Legis. Lisanne Altmann (D-Great Neck), who did not run for re-election this year, will take a job with Naughton after she leaves the legislature in January.
Altmann, who has lobbied hardest for Naughton’s reappointment, laughed when asked if she expected a job in return for her efforts.
“Nothing could be further from the truth,” said Altmann, who has worked at the Long Island Power Authority for the past decade. “I hope we remain close colleagues, but I’m certainly not going to be working for him,” she said of Naughton.
