Statehouse News reports a number of new appointments in Leslie Kirwan's A&F department:

UBS investment banker HENRY DORMITZER was named undersecretary and chief of staff. JAY GONZALEZ, who specialized in government financing of capital projects at the law firm Edwards Angell Palmer & Dodge, is assistant secretary for capital finance and intergovernmental affairs. MATTHEW GORZKOWICZ, chief financial officer at the Massachusetts School Building Authority, is assistant secretary for financial operations and budget. Coming over from his post as senior policy counsel at the attorney general’s office is GLEN SHOR, as A&F’s director of policy and planning. JANET FOGEL, formerly an attorney with the Senate Counsel’s office and the assistant city solicitor for Somerville, is the A&F’s deputy general counsel. Signing on as policy analysts at A&F are LONSDALE KOESTER, who worked as deputy finance director for the Deval Patrick Committee, and TOM RYAN, who has worked as a budget analyst at the House Ways and Means Committee.

Dormitzer and Gonzalez were both on Patrick's transition working group for budget. Gorzkowicz was once the budget director for Senate Ways & Means, so he should know his way around the political intricacies of the budget process.
