Crain's Insider is reporting today that the Empire State Development Corporation has done a "clean sweep" of its top officers. Here's the list of the people who were dismissed:

• John Bacheller, senior vice president for policy
• Ann Hulka, senior vice president for real estate
• Eileen Mildenberger, COO
• Frances Huppert, senior vice president for design and construction
• Kelly Jones, regional director for New York City

A few people will be staying. They are:

• Frances Walton, CFO
• Anita Laremont, General Counsel

And there are a slew of new appointees. They include:

• Darren Bloch, vice president of external relations
• Jennifer McCormick, vice president for policy and programs
• Jennifer Rimmer, vice president for subsidiary development
  
• Shaifali Puri, senior adviser to President Avi Schick
• Errol Cockfield (of Newsday fame), press secretary

The NY Post reports another employee dismissal: Wendy Leventer, who, as president of the Brooklyn Bridge Park Development Corp., was overseeing the Brooklyn Bridge Park project. The Spitzer administration is on a mission to clean up ESDC, which under Pataki was accused of frivolous spending.
