Dana Rubinstein was the scribe on this one:

Still hobbling from his nearly fatal car accident in April, New
Jersey Gov. Jon Corzine has poached beloved police-beat reporter Lilo
H. Stainton from The Brooklyn Paper to be his new press secretary.

The governor’s office made the announcement on Tuesday.

Before
joining The Brooklyn Paper staff in 2005, Stainton, 37, worked for six
years as a reporter in Gannett’s capital bureau in Trenton. Earlier,
she was a staff reporter on central Jersey’s Home News Tribune and the
New York Daily News.

While at Gannett, Stainton won two New
Jersey Press Association awards and one National Headliner Award for
Public Service for individual and team coverage of pay hikes in the
executive and legislative branches of the New Jersey government.

She
had been working for The Brooklyn Paper for nearly two years when she
got a call “out of the blue a couple weeks ago from a friend … in
Democratic politics down there,” she said.
