New NY State Comptroller... in the closet

From my sources that knew Tom DiNapoli from High School, the new State Comptroller is gay. This is entirely just crass gossip, but it must irk Sean Patrick Maloney if true since Maloney ran last year as a ground breaking first openly gay statewide official.

So DiNapoli is going to be the new Comptroller, this is a sign of how much control Silver has over that actual workings of the state. Spitzer wants to be seen as the steamroller but he just got rolled, as DiNapoli was not on Spitzer's committee search list, and DiNapoli came from silver's democratic conference without any discernible financial background or competency other than keeping his personal checkbook balance.
