Mayor Duffy Submits Resignation. Oh, and uh, happy New Year.

This article was scraped from Rochester Subway. This is a blog about Rochester history and urbanism has not been published since 2017.

   Effective at 11:59 p.m. Friday December 31 2010, Mayor Robert Duffy will no longer be Rochester's Mayor. Duffy will be sworn in as Lieutenant Governor of New York on Friday night. The inauguration ceremony will take place at noon on Saturday, January 1.

Duffy sent his resignation letter to City Council President Lovely Warren and City Clerk Dan Karin. Much like his second term as Rochester's Mayor, he kept this one brief...
