Gov taps transit boss

Janno Lieber, who has run the MTA’s construction and development work since 2017, will take over as the agency’s acting chairman and chief executive when incumbent Pat Foye departs at the end of the month, Gov. Cuomo said Thursday.

Lieber, 59, had been Cuomo’s pick to lead MTA operations as part of a proposal to change state law, split the authority’s top job in half and appoint Sarah Feinberg chair. The state Senate has so far refused to approve the change.

Cuomo is attempting to use delays to the state’s pot legalization program as leverage, The Post reported.
