| Description | After two months of escalating political setbacks, Governor Deval Patrick brought in two State House veterans yesterday to help stabilize his new administration and announced the resignation of his wife's $72,000 chief of staff, whose position will be abolished.
Patrick turned to one of Senate President Robert E. Travaglini's top aides, David Morales, to become his senior adviser on policy and strategic planning.
He also moved Joseph Landolfi, a veteran press officer who has led the communications operations at several high-profile state agencies, from Administration and Finance into the governor's inner office to take over day-to-day media operations.
Aides hope that the departure of Diane Patrick's chief of staff, Amy Gorin, will stem some of the heavy criticism the governor has taken for creating the position. She resigned less than a week after Patrick announced that his wife was suffering from exhaustion and depression.
Patrick's advisers, who have spent the last several days working on plans to shore up Patrick's staff, said the governor expects to make other additions in the near future as he seeks to bolster his staff with aides who have more political and media savvy.
