Simcha Felder eyes City Finance Commissioner position
Sources say that City Councilmember Simcha Felder is eyeing the job of City Finance Commissioner, which pays a hefty $189,700 annually.
The position opened up last April when former commissioner Martha Stark quit following revelations that she had a close friend and relatives on the payroll.
Michael Hyman was appointed Acting Commissioner of Finance on May 4, 2009, but political insiders think Felder is making a play for the spot.
The job could be his if Mayor Michael Bloomberg is re-elected.
Stark was only one of two African-American commissioners in the Bloomberg administration, the other being Human Rights Commission head Patricia Gatling.
When questioned about the move, Felder said he was thinking only about a third term in the City Council.
