New York: Power and Authority in the Independence Party

Of the very little media coverage of the New York City Independence Party county committee organizing over the past several months, there are two items here -- one in the Staten Island Advance from Tom Wrobleski called "2 continue fight for leadership of Independence Party: State group recognizes Morano as borough chair, while Lyons is selected as leader at local meeting" (Monday, September 25, 2006). I'm tempted to point out Morano's "sour grapes" syndrome, but that would imply that he had any grapes....


The other is from Rich Winger's Ballot Access News "State Leadership of NY Independence Party Tries to Undo Fulani Supporters Recent Gains from last Thursday, when successful
meetings were held in Manhattan, Brooklyn and Queens to constitute grassroots county committees which will provide the leadership to local political decisions.
