The New York Public Library announced today that Weinshall will serve as its chief operating officer, starting Sept. 1.

She will be leaving the City University of New York, where she now serves as vice chancellor of facilities planning, management, and construction.

Weinshall, Chuck Schumer's wife, was also recently elected chair of the Prospect Park Alliance.

1. Am I the only one?

I really dislike the concept of government and public institutions having CxOs.

2. No your n8t the only one.

3. Ok. Business as usual in NYC. When she was the GOP admin's Transportation Commissioner....

... under Boomberg the m$m always managed to avoid mentioning she was Schumer's wife. In other words... a patronage appointee.

Boy I wish I had THAT kind of influence. Control of gov't AND media. ( I'd settle for one or the other.)

More of the same under di Blasio: one party state: the MONEY Party.

4. If we had that influence we would be set for life.
