| Description | In Queens District, Old-Guard Lawmaker Must Move On
By ANNE BARNARD
Published: November 8, 2008
The Glendale Diner has a mini jukebox in every booth, a sauerbraten-and-red-cabbage special and a bald eagle painted on the front window with the message, “God bless America.” Over the cash register, next to a plaque from the neighborhood Little League, hangs a certificate of appreciation written out to the owner from a local politician who is nothing short of an institution, State Senator Serphin R. Maltese.
When Mr. Maltese, a Republican, lost his seat to Joseph P. Addabbo Jr. on Tuesday after 20 years in office, it meant one thing to Albany: It tipped the State Senate to the Democrats for the first time since 1965, setting the stage for a major realignment in state politics. |
