RoAnn Maggiolino Destito (born January 15, 1956) was appointed Commissioner of the New York State Office of General Services overseeing all state contracts, by Governor Andrew Cuomo in 2011. Prior to becoming Commissioner she was a member of the New York State Assembly for the 116th district (which includes Rome and Utica) from 1993 to 2011 when she resigned. She is a Democrat. She is the widow of Chris Destito, former President of the Rome Chamber of Commerce and owner of the Beeches Restaurant and Convention Center; and the mother of one son. ControversiesHer tenure included a seat on the New York State Liquor Authority Board. While she was on the SLA, her husband's liquor wholesale client the Oneida Indian Nation's Turning Stone Resort & Casino was granted the legal right to have alcohol served at the casino. In 2009, Oneida County Legislator Michael Hennessy spoke out against issuing the permit and requested an investigation.[1] To comply with this deal approximately 1,200 employees were switched from working for Turning Stone to now being employed by CD Food & Beverage.[2] In September 2011, Destito proclaimed a curfew of 7pm to help Albany State Park Police break up a demonstration. Protesters argued that by sleeping in a public park they were expressing a protected First Amendment right to free speech and were not subject to curfews.[3] Albany police did not make any arrests. In 2013 she was accused of ethics violations by lobbying for the casino's gaming deal.[4] She traveled around the state speaking with officials endorsing the controversial agreement.[5] References1. ^{{cite news|last=Fusco |first=Jennifer |url=http://www.uticaod.com/x1528815806/Hennessy-sees-Destito-conflict-in-Turning-Stone-permits |title=Hennessy sees Destito conflict in Turning Stone permits |newspaper=Observer-Dispatch |date=27 August 2017 |accessdate=4 January 2017}} 2. ^{{cite web|last=AP|title=Regulators OK liquor sales at Turning Stone Casino|url= http://www.nativetimes.com/business/gaming/3557-regulators-ok-liquor-sales-at-turning-stone-casino |work=AP|publisher=Native American Times|accessdate=31 October 2013}} 3. ^{{cite news|last=Lyons|first=Brendan J.|title=Occupy Albany protest draws state curfew change|url=http://www.timesunion.com/local/article/Occupy-Albany-protest-draws-state-curfew-change-2238350.php|accessdate=23 June 2013|newspaper=Albany Times Union|date=October 27, 2011}} 4. ^{{cite news| url=https://www.nytimes.com/2013/09/12/nyregion/ballot-measure-on-casinos-will-have-a-positive-slant.html?_r=0 | work=The New York Times | first=Jesse | last=McKinley | title=Ballot Measure on Casinos Will Have a Positive Slant | date=11 September 2013}} 5. ^{{cite news|last=Tenney|first=Claudia|title=A rotten deal with ‘casino Oneidas’|url=http://www.nypost.com/p/news/opinion/opedcolumnists/rotten_deal_with_casino_oneidas_KuvCUARQw9eEPCLcvjrZwI|work=New York Post|publisher=NY Post|accessdate=23 June 2013}} External links
