Eliot Spitzer’s campaign manager, Ryan Toohey, was arrested for DWI after crashing his Volvo, October 22, on the I-190.

Toohey’s father, Timothy Toohey, was arrested for DWI while on the way to to pick up his son from the State Trooper’s station.

Timothy Toohey, a lawyer active for decades in Niagara County politics, was sentenced in July to a year in federal prison. He pleaded guilty to a felony count of filing a false tax return, admitting to underreporting his income by $1 million.

Toohey is suspended from practicing law because of his tax conviction. He has been allowed to remain free without bail while waiting for a federal prison assignment, court officials said.

Even good things are subject to the “law of unintended consequences.”  The removal of the tolls this past week on the I-190 has led to increased traffic and slowdowns for commuters. 

Traffic jams at those sites continue. And although the increased volume has eased, both locations now have so much traffic that they are “near capacity,” said Thruway spokesman Patrick Noonan.

The Thruway Authority is no in the process of evaluating the shifting traffic patterns.  I would think that the physical removal of the toll booths, combined with 2 lanes of traffic that doesn’t have to slow down, would alleviate most of the problem.
