Shelly’s friends have a Silver lining: New Assembly Speaker Carl Heastie, who has pledged reform, has kept his predecessor’s leadership team.

Heastie retained Herman Farrell (D-Manhattan) to run the Assembly’s Budget Committee and Majority Leader Joe Morelle (D-Rochester) to run the day-to-day operations of the Assembly, jobs that come with $34,000 stipends.

Heastie also kept Assembly members Joe Lentol (D-Brooklyn), Cathy Nolan (D-Queens), and Keith Wright (D-Manhattan) in place as heads of the Codes, Education and Housing committees, even though they ran against him.

And he chose not to punish a Silver ally, Assemblywoman Deborah Glick (D-Manhattan), by allowing her to keep her Higher Education Committee post, even though she missed Tuesday’s speaker vote and didn’t back him.

Only one member lost his committee chairmanship, which came with a $12,500 stipend.

Heastie dumped Assemblyman William Scarborough (D-Queens) as head of the Small Business Committee.
