DiNapoli tops GOP foe for new NY comptroller term
ALBANY — Democratic Comptroller Thomas DiNapoli won another term as the state’s chief financial officer on Tuesday, turning back a challenge from little-known Republican Robert Antonacci.
DiNapoli, 60, was initially chosen by his colleagues for the comptroller’s post in 2007 after Alan Hevesi resigned amid scandal. DiNapoli won a four-year term in 2010.
Antonacci is a 49-year-old accountant and lawyer serving his second term as comptroller for Onondaga County, located in central New York and home to Syracuse.
