He became New York City�s longest serving mayoral spokesman and now Stu Loeser is moving on.
Loeser became press secretary in January of 2006.
Some might call him the mayor�s filter and Bloomberg said Loeser kept him out of more trouble than he got him out of.
�Is it good to lose him? No,� said Bloomberg. �I am not happy that Stu is going off to start a career in the private sector although I�m sympathetic.�
Loeser is off to start his own corporate communications company and said his inspiration is the man whose image he�s helped shape these six years.
�Stu made a big difference in this city,� Bloomberg said with a smile. �But you know, the cemeteries are full of irreplaceable people at the mayor level and at the press secretary level.�
Marc La Vorgna, who joined the mayor�s office in 2008 after stints with the Port Authority, New Jersey Department of Transportation, and Rep. Bill Pascrell, will succeed Loeser.
