Albany: Nominee for Waterfront Commissioner

Gov. Eliot Spitzer has nominated Ronald Goldstock to be New York State’s commissioner on the Waterfront Commission of New York Harbor, a bistate agency that certifies dockworkers and polices the waterfront. Mr. Goldstock previously worked as managing director at Kroll Associates, a private security firm, and was director of the New York State Organized Crime Task Force for more than 13 years. If approved by the State Senate, Mr. Goldstock would succeed Michael C. Axelrod. On Oct. 15, Mr. Spitzer issued an executive order instructing the state’s inspector general, Kristine Hamann, to look at “allegations of misfeasance and nonfeasance by personnel of the Waterfront Commission, including allegations of misconduct, conflicts of interest, abuse and waste.”
