Back in 2013 and the days when Erie County Democrats rated nary a
blip on Gov. Andrew Cuomo’s political radar, an event at the Hyatt
Regency Buffalo marked a new low for upstate New York’s largest
Democratic organization.
Chairman Jeremy Zellner found himself mixing with the big ballroom
commoners for a Cuomo fundraiser, while Democratic “grown-ups” hobnobbed
with the governor in an adjoining inner sanctum.
Zellner, like predecessor Len Lenihan, was on the outs.
Maybe it’s something in the Cuomo DNA. The governor’s father – the
late Gov. Mario Cuomo – once in the 1980s referred to former Erie County
Democratic Chairman Joe Crangle as a “non-person.” Crangle’s alleged
offense, which he denied, was criticizing Andrew Cuomo, then an aide to
his father.
