Paterson will retain Spitzer's budget director Laura Anglin, 42, and director of operations Paul Francis, said Christine Anderson, a Spitzer spokeswoman. Anderson said she was asked to stay through the transition and will stay as long as needed.
``You will see there is a lot of continuity in terms of the staff,'' Anderson said. ``There won't be a lot of turnover.''
One person who did resign, top Spitzer aide Richard Baum, will stay to help the transition, Anderson said.
Spitzer's senior adviser Bruce Gyory and first deputy secretary Sean Patrick Maloney will also stay on, Anderson said. Maloney will be given a new title and, along with Francis, serve as deputies to Charles O'Byrne, Paterson's current chief of staff. O'Byrne will take on the title of secretary and serve as Paterson's top adviser.
One Spitzer appointee did resign. Patrick Foye, who has served as the downstate Empire State Development Corporation chairman, submitted his resignation letter to Paterson yesterday.
