The top two leaders of the state?s AIDS Administration are resigning over frustration with strict oversight from the Health Department and governor?s office, which are restricting their ability to implement programs and comment publicly on legislative issues, sources close to the situation said.

Acting Director Naomi Tomoyasu?s resignation was effective Tuesday, days after the acting deputy director, Dr. Madeleine Shea, announced she is resigning. Dr. Tomoyasu replaced former Director Liza Solomon after she resigned in October 2004 to head the state?s revived AIDS Legislative Committee, a nonprofit group advocating AIDS prevention policy.
