More Ferrer Departures

The Post reported this morning on the departure of Freddy's press secretary, Juli-anne Whitney, whose hyphenated first name is the scourge of copy-editors everywhere.

Now add another name to the long list of ex-Ferrer '05ers: Scott Schell.

The campaign's policy director, formerly of the Brennan Center, was viewed as a catch when he came on board. He was also the numbers guy on the badly received stock transfer tax proposal, which we always thought was more solidly researched than most policy pitches this campaign season, and which Ferrer has continued to tout.

We're told the two departed for personal reasons.
