HARRISBURG, Pa. — In a long-awaited appointment, Gov. Edward G. Rendell has named a Mellon banker, Steven Kaplan, as the state's new banking secretary.

"We really have no information on Mr. Kaplan but like his predecessor, the acting secretary, Vicki Reider and Bill Schenck, we hope credit unions will get a fair shake," said a spokesman for the Pennsylvania Credit Union Association.

Kaplan, 55, has been chief of staff for Mellon Financial Corporation's Mid-Atlantic Region and chairman of Mid-Atlantic Charitable Trusts. Reider has been serving as acting secretary following the resignation last fall of A. William Schenck III.
