according to one report and it sounds like Walz kept him on or something like that. But of course the big media just ties his appointment to Walz as though this is something Tim came up with. The NY Post is also claiming him to be a "Democratic aide" but I don't see that someone being appointed to a workforce commission of some sort is automatically an "aide" of a political party.
