29. Robert B. Catell
2003 Power List
The chairman of KeySpan Corporation controls literal power, as well as 7,700 employees. He recently won the hearts of LI environmentalists—particularly bird-lovers—when he sold a 520-acre site to the state, thereby creating the largest undeveloped open-space project on Long Island Sound. PRAISE HIM because, although he wears a suit and tie himself, he doesn’t mind casual dress for everyone else. BOO HIM for making you spend so much on air conditioning.
