Andrew Cuomo's Transition Team, And Plenty Of It »
By Celeste Katz
If Governor-Elect Andrew Cuomo piles any more people onto his transition teams, who will be left to be governed?
Here's the latest truckload of those who will be helping the incoming Democrat set up his administration in the areas of health and education; transportation and infrastructure; and government reform.
The full release with all the names is below, but a few jumped out at me:
- Ken Raske, President, Greater New York Hospital Association (A pretty serious indication Cuomo's going to make good on his promises to take on the unions.)
- Abby S. Milstein, Partner, Constantine Cannon (Perhaps another little poke at Eliot Spitzer? This is the firm of Eliot's one-time-confidant-turned-tell-all-book-writer Lloyd Constantine.)
- Geoffrey Canada, founder, Harlem Children’s Zone (Making the point that this will be a diverse administration, plus HCZ is well-liked by former President and former Cuomo boss Bill Clinton.)
- Stan Lundine, Chair of the NYS Commission on Local Government Efficiency and Competitiveness and former LG to Cuomo's father, Mario, with whom he didn't always have a perfect relationship.
- Tom Suozzi, former Nassau County Executive and Chair of the NYS Commission on Property Tax Relief (Suozzi ran a "Fix Albany" campaign that targeted balky members of the state Legislature and encouraged Spitzer to give him a role in government, so perhaps Cuomo's trying to bring a potential critic into the fold?)
