THANKS goodness!!  Things were looking scary.

Certainly a better choice than any of the rumors that had been floating around.

This is great news for the F.D.N.Y.. The department should be led by a man such as Chief Nigro who came up through the ranks and knows what the job is about. Best of luck Chief!

Just curious, I saw an article that said he's going to focus on diversity. For those of you who know more about him, how extreme do you think he is going to be in terms of pushing diversity?
