‘State Races To Attract an Economic Tsar’
NY Sun, Letters to the Editor
One-time New York State Comptroller H. Carl McCall swears he absolutely, positively does not want to run the ESDC.
A story in the Sun said that I was “seeking the job” of Chairman of the Empire State Development Corporation [New York, “State Races To Attract an Economic Tsar,” May 29, 2008]. Nothing could be farther from the truth.
Let me say it clearly: I am not seeking the job. I am not a candidate for the job. I do not want the job. And I would not accept the job if it were to be offered to me.
NoLandGrab: Did he mention he wasn't interested?
Maybe Governor Paterson should name Bruce Ratner to the post. Cutting out the middleman might make the agency's disbursement of taxpayer money more efficient.
