Oros and two other Republicans on the board have called for the immediate suspension of Kriss, whose free-wheeling purchasing of electronic gadgets, books and other things, has come under the intense scrutiny of a criminal investigation. Kriss is the $150,000-a-year chief adviser to Bill “Boss” Ryan, the Democratic chairman of the board,
Oros and the other Republican legislators, Jim Maisano of New Rochelle and Gordon Burrows, said that under Ryan, “the public has lost trust” in the board of legislators.

Interesting show, to bad you didn’t have more time. Great call regarding the debacle at the medical center. And what about Playland, I still can’t figure out why taxpayers are forced to subsidize an amusement park that loses money every year, if it can’t pay for itself it should be downsized until it can. As far as spending 8 million to refurbish the bath house it should have been put to a popular vote. Must be the Legislators think they know how to spend our money better then we do.
Sad to say, but the Republicans up there should have been a lot more vocal long ago about what’s been going on.
It’s easy to be brave when you’re in the minority, and don’t have to follow through.
Indeed. Many people (if not most) who aspire to political office are at base blowhards who are enamored with the sound of their own voices, political party notwithstanding.
