The Doctor is Still In the Building

---

Did you think former Deputy Mayor for Economic Development Dan Doctoroff had gone off to a life in the private sector? Not exactly. Yesterday, Mr. Doctoroff was cleared by the city's Conflicts of Interest Board to remain involved in a number of projects on which he'd worked as Deputy Mayor. What's fascinating about a Times story on the subject, however, is the number of things in which Mr. Doctoroff is still involved: Hudson River Park, Governors Island, Moynihan Station and the Queens West projects. Plus, that little endeavor know as PlaNYC 2030. Of all this, the Times writes that "Mr. Doctoroff may have left City Hall, but he remains a participant in — and has a big influence over — what is going to be built." The list of Doctoroff projects and involvements in so long that "even some who serve on boards with him have expressed confusion about his roles" and in January a How to Deal with the Doctor Memo went out.
