Status Cuomo?
The New York Times, in Cuomo Picks Schwartz to Be New Top Aide, today reported:
That month, Paterson himself met with Atlantic Yards opponents, promising "an objective and fair hearing," but nothing came of it.
In fact, at the March 2010 groundbreaking, Paterson repeated some myths about Atlantic Yards job projections.
The New York Times, in Cuomo Picks Schwartz to Be New Top Aide, today reported:
In a shakeup of his senior staff, Gov. Andrew M. Cuomo on Friday appointed Lawrence S. Schwartz, a senior adviser in his administration, to be his top aide.Schwartz played a quiet but not insignificant goal gatekeeping Atlantic Yards for Paterson, for example meeting in December 2009 with Assemblyman Hakeem Jeffries on the issue.
As secretary to the governor, Mr. Schwartz will return to a position he held under Gov. David A. Paterson. The move establishes him as arguably the most influential unelected official in state government over the past several years, and marks a rare instance of one man serving as the top staffer to two consecutive governors.
