Kessel out as NYPA chief?

New York Power Authority CEO Richie Kessel is a loud, brash Long Islander.  He has a history of clashing with people because of it.  There’s been widepsread speculation his tenure at NYPA is tenuous.

Today, our colleagues at public radio station WXXI in Rochester are reporting Kessel may be on the way out, via a slip by Assemblyman Joe Morelle talking on a live radio show:

“I think it’s been announced,” said Morelle. “If not, you just got a scoop – because he’s going. He’ll be sorry to hear this.”

NYPA denies any such move has been made.  But Kessel is a main topic today at the state capitol.
