Edward Regan

Edward V. "Ned" Regan was a local Republican politician from Buffalo, New York who was elected to the office of Comptroller of New York in 1979. Before him, Arthur Leavitt held that position for 24 years. Regan resigned that position on May 7, 1993 before completing his current term.

At around that time, and in promotion of debt reform, he had called New York's borrowing practices the "worst in the country". We was succeeded by Carl McCall.

Regan was investigated by law enforcement officials after the disclosure of a memo written by members of his staff, one of which pointedly said, "Those who give will get." Regan denied any impropriety.

Regan occasionaly talked of running for governor, but never did so.

Regan is of the Hobart Class of 1952 at Hobart and William Smith Colleges.
