Monroe County Executive Cheryl Dinolfo has named former County Legislature President Jeff Adair as the county’s new chief economic development officer. Adair also becomes executive director of COMIDA, the county economic development agency.
Adair served 12 years on the county legislature until being forced out by the term limit law. His brother is Chief Financial Officer of the Rochester Genesee Regional Transportation authority.
County Legislature Democratic Leader Cindy Kaleh says yet another nationwide search has led to the appointment of a Republican insider and political crony of the county executive.
