Former Gov. George Pataki and his chief of staff, John Cahill, have joined the New York law firm of Chadbourne & Parke. They will concentrate on energy, environmental issues and corporate matters, according to a press release from the firm.
While he was in office Pataki focused on the environment, and it was an area that seemed to be particularly important to him.
He was applauded by groups such Audubon New York, which commended him for his years of conservation leadership.
“Not since Teddy Rooosevelt has the state had a more dedicated governor intent on protecting New York’s great natural heritage,” said the chapter’s executive director David Miller.
But the governor also got criticism for cutting the state Department of Environmental Conservation and its regulatory ability. And others said he often announced far-reaching proposals that then were repeatedly delayed.
