Upstate economic ‘czar’ Gundersen to stay on
Some good news for Upstate: Upstate economic ‘czar’ Daniel Gundersen has just announced he plans to stay on with our new governor, David Paterson. From The Buffalo News:
Upstate ESD Chairman Daniel Gundersen issued a statement indicating he has no plans to follow in the footsteps of his downstate counterpart Patrick Foye, who resigned his post Sunday.
“Our work here has only begun and I am committed to support Gov. [David A.] Paterson as we bring about true revitalization in every upstate community,†Gundersen said.

In the wake of last week’s Spitzer sex scandal revelations and abrupt resignation, Gundersen contacted several upstate mayors and other elected officials to assure them Spitzer’s departure would not halt efforts to jump-start the economies of Buffalo, Rochester, Syracuse and other upstate communities.
