The obituaries are out for former New York Lieutenant Governor and Westchester County Executive Al DelBello. The Democrat died Friday at age 80.
In a statement, Governor Andrew Cuomo said “This state is in a better place today because of his service.” Westchester County Executive Rob Astorino ordered flags to half-staff yesterday in observance of DelBello’s death.
WAMC’s political observer Dr. Alan Chartock remembers DelBello and the sometimes tough times the man faced in Albany.
