(Amsterdam News) — Andrew Cuomo has promised to have a diverse transition team, and a press release said the committees “are comprised of a diverse group of government, private sector and policy leaders with a wide range of local, state and federal experience in their respective fields.” But now Cuomo has picked former Mayor Rudolph Giuliani—who was infamous for his lack of diversity in his administration and for failing to meet with Black leadership—to co-chair his public safety committee on the governor-elect’s transition team, causing some to question just how much Cuomo really values diversity. The committee’s job will be to recruit and recommend people for positions in public safety, law enforcement and counterterrorism work.
