Ind. Gov't - "Goldsmith Quits as NYC Deputy Mayor After 14 Months"
So Javier C. Hernandez reports in the NY Times City Room blog. A quote:
Mr. Goldsmith entered office last year with much fanfare: a Harvard professor and expert in innovation poached from the ivory tower. But his short tenure was complicated by controversies, most notably after the city’s slow response to a crippling snowstorm in December. At a raucous City Council hearing following the blizzard, he was the one dispatched by the mayor to deliver a personal apology and to acknowledge wide-ranging mistakes.Still, Mr. Goldsmith managed to push through a series of changes to make government more efficient, by consolidating information technology and real estate operations and creating a Web site to allow city residents to submit cost-cutting ideas.
