Shakeup at the Governors office? Stainton leaving press secretary post
By Wally Edge
Category: GovernorTags: Anthony Coley, Ivette Mendez, Lilo Stainton, Ted Kennedy, Deborah Howlett, JON CORZINE
More movement in Governor Jon Corzine’s office: Lilo Stainton, the former Gannett statehouse reporter who has served as Corzine’s press secretary since last June, is leaving for another state post. She’ll be the Communications Director for the Meadowlands Commission. Stainton took over for Anthony Coley (now Senator Ted Kennedy’s press secretary) when Coley moved up to Communications Director following the departure (under not-so-great terms) of Ivette Mendez. When Coley left earlier this year, Corzine (after taking some time to mull his options) hired a reporter who covered him for the Star-Ledger, Deborah Howlett.

who's next?
I guess Margolin and Whelan should keep their phones on and wait for that job offer.
Wally Sensational
This is hardly a shakeup. After a year in the job, she's probably tired of commuting to Trenton everyday. Now she gets an office that nobody can find in the swamp in North Jersey.
guess she got tired
of putting lipstick on a pig. after all, she was a reporter, not a fiction writer.
Lilo...
is way to cool to hang with pieces of krap like Corzine. Who would want to work for that idiot? Unfortunately, now she is going to be a spokeswoman for an agency where she will have to answer for Susan B(ig A)ss Levin's pathetic mismanagement... Encap, political firings etc.
Wow!
This is a first. The Sabrinistas have not response. What happened? No kool-aid left?
Press Secretary leaves Governor's Office- Wow!
Who cares, except other reporters, who may dream about being in the bunker with those who run the government? I guess that is why there are so many books about Library Science (whatever that is) in the State House Library.
