Mayor-elect Bill de Blasio announced several key appointments to his administration Tuesday and came just hours before officially being sworn-in.
Life-long negotiator of labor contracts Robert Linn will now serve as the Director of Labor Relations.
He will be joined by Stanley Brezenoff, who will serve as an unpaid Special Adviser to the First Deputy Mayor.
De Blasio also announced Polly Trottenberg as the new Transportation Commissioner and Gilbert Taylor as Homeless Services Commissioner.
Trottenberg was nominated by President Barack Obama to serve as the Under Secretary of Transportation for Policy in June 2012, and confirmed by the U.S. Senate in January 2013.
Taylor is currently the Executive Deputy Commissioner at the Administration for Children’s Services.
De Blasio also announced Kyle Kimball will continue to serve as the President of the New York City Economic Development Corporation and will lead efforts to develop new career paths to lift New Yorkers into the middle class.
Additionally, de Blasio told reporters he will be keeping Salvatore Cassano as the city’s fire commissioner, John Doherty as head of the Department of Sanitation and Joe Bruno as the head of the Office of Emergency Management.
