ALBANY – One of the longest serving and
most powerful state lawmakers is ready to call it quits.
Assemblyman Herman "Denny"
Farrell (D-Manhattan) told the Daily News Tuesday that on Sept. 5 he will
resign the seat he's held the past 42 years.
Farrell, 85, cited age, health, and the
demands of the job as chairman of the Assembly Ways and Means Committee as key
reasons for his decision to retire.
"The Ways and Means Committee is a
lot of work and it’s important,” Farrell said of the chairmanship he’s held
since 1994. “I don't want to embarrass myself by putting the ice cream in my
ear. I want to leave the day before that, not the day after."
