Previously, Assembly Members Audrey Pheffer and Luis Diaz left elected office to become County Clerks of Queens and The Bronx, respectively.

But “County Cleark” sounds, smells, looks political. I think that is not really retiring as much as shifting a little into the “pseudo” world. The price certainly is right and I don’t think you get it unless politics came into play.

State Supreme Court Justice Milton Tingling was chosen as the new Manhattan County Clerk. Assemblyman Wright really didn’t want the spot.
