ALBANY, N.Y. (AP) - The chairman of the New York Gaming Commission has resigned.
Mark Gearan announced his decision at Monday's commission meeting. It will be up to Gov. Andrew Cuomo to pick his replacement, who must be confirmed by the state Senate.
Gearan is the president of Hobart and William Smith College in Geneva. He is a former director of the Peace Corps and was a deputy chief of staff under President Bill Clinton. Gearan cited increasing obligations and workload as his reason for stepping down.
Gearan led the commission since March of last year.
Gearan says it was an "enormous privilege" to serve on the commission. He cited the commission's work to oversee the selection of new casinos and efforts to promote race horse safety as two accomplishments during his tenure.
