Yesterday, the Daily News reported that the Rev. Al Sharpton was upset at the apparent lack of diversity in Governor-elect Andrew Cuomo's transition team. Sharpton said, "They should have given a priority to send an early signal that they are going to have a diverse administration... We have not seen the signal we had wanted to see. I haven't seen any signal at all." However, Cuomo claims he doesn't have a transition team in place, so how can Sharpton even complain? Maybe Sharpton read this NY Times story about Cuomo's transition.
