New York, Dec. 24 -- Nassau County Executive Laura Curran's husband will no longer serve as outside attorney for the Metropolitan Transportation Authority board, following concerns about potential conflicts of interest, the MTA confirmed on Friday.

John Curran, the Walden Macht & Haran partner whom the board tapped for the position, had no immediate comment, nor did Laura Curran.

The board had hired the county executive's husband to represent it in potential conflicts with management. He was poised to earn up to $240,000 a year.

"John is an extremely talented attorney," MTA spokesperson Abbey Collins said. "We respect the decision and wish him well."
