From the NY Observer:H. Dale Hemmerdinger is finding it's not so easy to stay involved in public service.
The real estate executive and longtime Democratic donor ceded his seat as chairman of the M.T.A. as part of a restructuring last summer, making way for new CEO/Chairman Jay Walder. Governor Paterson then offered up an apparent consolation prize: In October, he nominated Mr. Hemmerdinger for a seat on the Port Authority's board—long a landing pad for political donors and onetime government officials.
However, the state Senate, which must confirm the nomination, is not eager to allow Mr. Hemmerdinger in for a second swing at state government. When the Senate approved a set of nominations last week, Mr. Hemmerdinger didn't make the list.

Kick this guy off the payroll. He self dealt himself a favor by rerouting and extending the Q45 to Atlas Mall which he owned at the time (This didn't help his mall then or now) which affects the Q45 service now since the portion extended has no riders and makes the riders on the traditional portion of the route wait so much longer for a bus or it is standing room only!
This guy is the worst example of whom not to have in government.
He's Also one of the scumbags who got the MTA Where it is now, Broke
also from the observer:
He had something of a contentious back-and-forth with state Senator Andrew Lanza, a Staten Island Republican, in which Mr. Hemmerdinger struggled to name concrete accomplishments during his tenure. Mr. Lanza then let fly some of his feelings about the M.T.A. leadership:
"I just felt that when you were chair of the M.T.A. that you did not consider it part of your responsibility to be forthcoming with information about the policies of the M.T.A., or responding to the riders or elected officials."
HumpaDingo needs to get lost!
good riddance! please go crawl under a rock, and take your son with you.
This guy and his son are corrupt dirtbags. You have no idea.
Looks like Dale got Hemmerdingered up the ass. Good for him!
