Stratton To Take Job In Cuomo Admin

And so, while Andy tells all the little people to become masochists and get into pain, he pisses away more money on a political appointee. The “Deputy Commissioner,” Counsel and “Intergovernmental Whatever” slots are filling as we speak. The well-connected will get large salaries with no significant duties to perform. God bless, America!

Stratton follows in the footsteps of former Schenectady Mayor Al Jurczynski. Per an old TU article:

“Instead of seeking a third mayoral term, Jurczynski opted to work for Gov. George Pataki as the deputy director of the Governor’s Office of Small Cities for $90,000 a year. The next year in 2005, he was appointed deputy secretary of state for business and licensing services at a salary of $113,400 a year. After the election of Gov. Eliot Spitzer, Jurczynski lost his state job in 2007….”

That’s one hell of job Andy’s doing altering the culture in Albany!

If Andy’s smart, he won’t let Stratton even CLOSE to any money. So I think one sure bet is that he won’t be landing @ DOB.

Now that is reporting! Nice job Buster, even if you are a luantic.

Just saw that it’s rumored he will go to the Canal Corporation. A do-nothing job unless you have a natural disaster.
