Yesterday, Representative Anthony Weiner made headlines for his anti-big box stance and his praise of Mayor Bloomberg, which was a little odd, since Weiner often criticizes him, or just timed to coincide with Weiner accelerating his mayoral aspirations. Today, the NY Times looks at how he has the highest staff turnover for anyone in the NY House delegation in recent years. For instance, "Roughly half of Mr. Weiner’s current staff has been on board for less than a year," raising questions about whether his hard-charging, micro-managing style will work at City Hall. Weiner believes he'll be a fair boss and some former staffers still support and praise him, but one said, “People joke that two years of Chuck [Schumer] equals one year of Anthony."
