Comptroller Bill Henry has reached back to a stalwart from the Sheila Dixon administration, appointing Andrew B. “Andy” Frank as his new $110,000-a-year deputy director of real estate.
Last seen in City Hall as deputy mayor for neighborhood and economic development and “first among equals” who advised Dixon, Frank left in 2010 to become a special advisor to Johns Hopkins University President Ronald J. Daniels.
His departure came shortly after Dixon resigned as Baltimore’s mayor following her conviction for embezzling gift cards intended for needy families.
Before that, Frank was the executive vice president of the quasi-public Baltimore Development Corporation during a period when enormous tax breaks were arranged by the city for Harbor Point developer John Paterakis Sr. and Dixon’s former boyfriend, Ron Lipscomb.
