Congratulations to Stephen Goldsmith, the national expert on government who has been writing articles on key issues for Rebuild Government. He has taken a leave from Harvard University to become deputy mayor of New York City. We are grateful to his insights into innovation government and the “politics of the possible.” We are pleased that he will allow us to continue to get his advice.
Here’s the news coverage of his appointment:
Mayor Bloomberg has reached outside his inner circle to find a new top deputy, picking former Indianapolis mayor Stephen Goldsmith to replace outgoing aide Ed Skyler.
Goldsmith, 63, will be named Deputy Mayor for Operations on Friday morning, overseeing the NYPD, FDNY, the departments of transportation and sanitation, and many other agencies responsible for vital New York services.
It gives Bloomberg an outsider’s perspective on how New York operates and shakes up his inner circle even more. Goldsmith was a county prosecutor in Indiana for a dozen years before serving as Indianapolis’ mayor from 1992 to 2000. He is now director of the Innovations in American Government Program at Harvard’s
Kennedy School of Government, where he teaches a course called “Leading Cities.”
