NU Online News Service, May 18, 4:20 p.m. EDT--The New York State Senate today confirmed Howard Mills as New York's insurance superintendent, a post he had held in an acting capacity since January.

His nomination by Republican Gov. George Pataki had been held up while the legislature was busy working on the state budget.

Mr. Mills is a former assemblyman who in 2004 lost a bid to unseat Democratic U.S. Sen. Charles Schumer. He succeeds Greg Serio, who resigned to take a job with a lobbying firm. The annual salary for the New York's insurance superintendent post is $127,000.
