PA office has a staff of how FEW? Too few to fill political patronage. That is why the term-limiteds are seeking BP, Comptroller or Mayor. Ask Scott Stringer. He found out after winning Manhattan BP - there is a lot more wiggle room to hire and fill patronage jobs at BP office than he ever would have been able to do if he had won PA. Now he has his eyes on the Comptroller job with well over 700 employees!! Now that's a lot of patronage.
