And more appointments

Adding to my previous post, we can now say that Patrick's team seems to be unleashing a flurry of appointments over the weekend, so that no individual will get any great public scrutiny.

The latest, announced this afternoon, are Harvard/Brigham & Women's JudyAnn Bigby as secretary of health and human services, state rep. Dan Bosley as special advisor on economic development, and Ann Berwick as undersecretary for energy.

These strike me initially as picks that will make progressives happy, but I'll reserve further comment until later.
