A reader writes in to note today’s obituary for Anthony Ameruso, transportation commissioner under Ed Koch. Ameruso passed away in April, although his death was not announced at that time.
The Times writes:
There was no evidence tying Mr. Ameruso to that scandal, but in December 1986, he was charged with perjury for failing to disclose his financial interest in a New Jersey company, Chief Realty, that did business with a contractor that won a city permit to provide ferry service.
