A very diverse group politically and in business and public careers

The only returning LIDA member is Town Supervisor Ronald Ruffino who was appointed and served as LIDA Chair in 2021. The newly appointed LIDA members held an Organizational Meeting yesterday and appointed former Town Supervisor Dino Fudoli Chairperson for 2022.Fudoli was the only name nominated for Chair consideration and was appointed by a 6-1 vote; Ruffino casting the lone ‘no’ vote.

Immediately after the Chair vote took place Supervisor Ruffino submitted his resignation and left the meeting.

This morning LIDA Chief Financial Officer & Assistant Secretary Pamela Cuviello submitted her resignation. Cuviello serves as Director of Administration and Finance (LIDA CFO) and as Director of Administration and Finance (LIDA PILOT billing.

Cuviello serves as Town of Lancaster Director of Administration and Finance, appointed by Ruffino when he took office in 2020.
Dino is on the LIDA...well, now maybe transparency and accountability can occur. Folks with knowledge and experience will use better judgement when handing out the tax abatement benefits for small businesses. I wonder if the Lancaster Airport is requesting new IDA's to replace the ones expiring???

This must be Dino's one foot closer to the Supervisor's seat. Supervisor Ruffino is a disappointment, it looks like he did not handle the pandemic well and when you fail at the huge issues, politics plays towards leadership change as a result of those failures.

As for Dino's tax issues, pay the damn taxes before you enter back into politics. Just my opinion only
