On April 6, one of the New York Independence Party internal disputes was settled. Both factions of the Staten Island (Richmond County) Independence Party now recognize Sarah Lyons as the County Chair. Lyons is an ally of Lenora Fulani. However, some rules changes were made to satisfy the faction of the party that is opposed to Fulani.
Not quite. The two factions did not settle, only the principals, who divided the endorsements available in 2006, 3 districts to Lyons, 4 to her opponent Frank Morano. Most of the anti-Fulani faction still do not recognize Lyons as Chair. The rules changes are still unsettled.
