Shaw is Out
The mayor's statement:
"For the last four years, New Yorkers have reaped the benefits of the dedication and talent of Marc Shaw. As First Deputy Mayor, Marc was the shrewd and steady hand that helped guide New York through its worst fiscal crisis in a generation. And as we tackled the rebuilding of our City after the terrorist attacks of September 11th, Marc's vast experience was critical to stabilizing New York City's government.
"Many of the administration's successes bear his fingerprints, foremost among them, achieving control of New York's Schools. His wise counsel and strategic advice have been invaluable in all aspects of government as we safely endured blackouts and transit strikes. As Marc moves on to new challenges, I wish him and his family the best. He has served our City and State for over 25 years with honor and distinction, and all New Yorkers will miss this great public servant."
—Nicole Brydson
Bloomberg announced 2 months ago that Shaw was being replaced as First Deputy Mayor by Patti Harris. So now, all this time later, Shaw "resigns"? Does that mean there have been 2 First Deputy Mayors for the past couple of months?
Where's he going?
Out to the front steps of City Hall for a cigar, for starters...
It's a problem that happens when working for the Politicker ... it takes several months, if ever, to figure it out. You know, like last week, when Ben Smith announced that Virginia Fields was thinking of running for Mayor.
Now...can we have an in depth analysis of Bloomberg's central staff, including which County Leader they camge from, whether they were competent or not as a matter of fact, rfollowed by ethnic analysis of the Administration's departed and new hires?
Whats good for the gander is good for the goose!
This one isn't the Politicker's fault. Bloomberg put out a press release saying Shaw had resigned. Unless it took 2 months for Bloomberg to read Shaw's resignation.
Get real 4:37! Bloomberg was elected Mayor by the people (not council members and bosses) and is a millionaire who does not need anything from anyone, not even himself.
btw, Quinn has not yet answered backoomie's questions regarding the numbers she put out. The question of minorities being overrepresented among those fired is still valid.
4:45: assume that "m"illionaire is a type-o. And he did need himself.
Private sector, I think your are making a gross generalization and it shows that you are very insecure.
An addendum to the message above: I am a member of a minority. Competance, or lack thereof, knows no skin color. The key is that equity needs to prevail - if both black and white folks are bad at their jobs, they both should go. But black folks who are incompetant should not be kept for fear of reprisal if others are also being let go who are not black. It hurts black folks when strictures like these are followed. I am not a sellout - far from it. I just feel we need to be held accountable when we screw up - just like everybody else.
I have been discriminated against and am the first one to rail against it. But if there is a situation where someone is not pulling their weight, in this day and age that is not an excuse. No one is owed a job, and if you are not up to the task, do not cry racism when the job is taken away.
I am not insinuating that everyone who just got let go by Quinn was incompetant, so no flaming. I am saying that for those who were indeed incompetant, crying racism is disingenuous and is part of the overall problem as to why black folks are not taken seriously enough in society...
I am certainly not insecure - far from it. All opinions are based on the experiences of people who express them, and my experience with the people I worked with in the campaign who fired on all cylinders almost all the time stands in stark contrast to many people I have encountered in city government. That is simply my reality. I have no problem backing up what I'm saying, because in my job I have to deal with large numbers of people so I am rapidly collecting a lot of empirical data from staff of many agencies.
I, in fact, hope that over time I meet more people who have a sense of urgency and energy, who love their jobs, who call/e-mail you back in a timely manner and feel that their work is indeed important and matters. I felt that all the time at the campaign - and not just because of the pace of the campaign, but because that was infused in the people. There is a lethargy that permeates certain areas of government, and that is what I am referring to. Accusing me of being insecure [which anyone who knows me will tell you that I am not] does not diminish that fact.
Dear Pvt. Sector,
You clearly missed my point and the sarcasm dripping from my keyboard. I was merely making a point, perhaps obtusely, that when Quinn changed her top policy advisors, it stank on blogs like the SI dump. Right down to questions of the ethinic balance of the firees.
Surely, no such stink will arise as Bloomberg shifts the heads around in his second administration.
NOW, on to your other ridiculous ridiculous point....if you don't think that there were EIGHTY MILLION other reasons that the Bloomberg campaign fired on all cylinders, then you are indeed naive and simplistic. Its alot easier to fire on all cylinders when you are firing a Howitzer to the other guy's pea shooter.
Get realistic.
Most of the people that I am aware of and know personally that worked on the campaign were from other government offices or other electeds as far as I could tell, so I am not sure how your thesis stands. In addition, you cannot compare a campaign to working for an agency. I would imagine that campaigns are way different - they are more fast paced, there is more accountability and there is less time for someone to become lethargic or comfortable in such a position precisely because of the shorter length of time of the campaign season.
OK you convinced me. Let's privatize government... oops wait, isn't that what Bush is already doing?
One of Quinn's problems is that she is uinsg tax dollars to run her campaign by replacing central staff professionals who had no political protection (many were hired on merit, not through county bosses) with political hacks. Keogh was working in Albany fo the Mayor precisely because he is a hack . It makes sense to have Keogh in that type of position, but makes no sense having him running a Division where other type of skills are necessary.
An on the ethnicity issue, isn't it interesting that according to Quinn's people the racial breakdown of the firees mirrors the staff's breakdown before the firings? "Amazing!" This supports the argument that this firings were political and had nothing to do with people's diligence or skills. Understood?
Going back to Shaw, how was he treated badly?
Shaw was a brilliant Deputy Mayor. His absence will definitely hurt the administration. I doubt Harris and Skyler can handle what Shaw handled all by himself.
Is the Mayor looking for another deputy mayor? I'd like to be one too! That would make me number 8?
