Blair Horner announced today that he'll return to his former post as Director of NYPIRG effective Monday. This announcement floats a number of questions to the surface of thought. The most glaring query for me is, why the sudden change? To my knowledge a two-week notice is appropriate for all areas of employment.
Horner claimed that his interest in advocacy work, coupled with the development of Project Sunlight placed him in a position to reasses his future with the AG's office. Okay, but I don't buy for a minute that Horner thinks of Project Sunlight as complete. He says he's an idea man, and that the current discussion focuses more on technology. What about AG Cuomo's idea of opening up the LRS database to the public? That idea has yet to enter the physical froum of Project Sunlight. Where is my tax-funded search-engine?
At any rate, Blair will be once again directing NYPIRG and that is a welcome return for good-government policy wonks everwhere. The abrubt departure aside, I'm glad Blair's conscience bought him back from the ease of State pensions and static perks.
