Andrew Cuomo is taking his time in naming his staff because of Albany's dysfunction.

ALBANY - Gov.-elect Andrew Cuomo plans to wait until the middle of next month to announce the key players of his administration.
Cuomo, during a radio interview Thursday, said he needs time to fill out his staff and cabinet because Albany's reputation for dysfunction has made it difficult to attract top talent.
"When you now say, 'Come to work for state government in Albany,' you have to see the facial expressions you get," Cuomo told Albany's Talk 1300.
Cuomo has formed more than a half-dozen transition committees that are charged with recruiting and recommending staff to fill out his administration.
"I know everyone is anxious, but I also want to have an intelligent, orderly process and make sure we pick the best people," said Cuomo, who takes office on Jan.1.
