20. Kevin Law
2006 Power List
Law had made his bones as the managing partner of the high- powered law firm Nixon Peabody LLP’s LI office before he was tapped by Levy for government work. Now, Law oversees the $2.5 billion budget of the county and its 12,000 employees. Law is also on the radar screens of some high-profile New York State Democrats, namely gubernatorial candidate Eliot Spitzer. Expect him to move up the list next year—if Spitzer is a winner.
