Interesting

Gillian Swart is reporting that Mayor Holaday apparently reversed herself and opted not to reappoint planning director Sean Sullivan. He's apparently already left.

From the post-election article in The Daily News

She also said she intends to reappoint the city's planning director, Sean Sullivan. The planning director's term ends on Jan. 5, 2010, one day after Holaday will take office.

The City Council will need to accept that appointment.

"I think Sean Sullivan has been very well received," Holaday said, adding that she has asked people both inside and outside City Hall. Sullivan comes prepared to meetings, she said.

"People speak very highly of him," she said. "I'm very pleased with his work and would like to keep him on."
