City Clerk Let’s Make Marrige Bureau Experience As Happy As Marrige 
Freshly confirmed City Clerk Hector Diaz talks a good game about being a “hands-on” administrator when it comes to making public offices public-friendly.
But his first challenge could be the clerk’s Bronx offices, including the Marriage Bureau, which was hit with a mismanagement scandal last June.
Diaz, 63, was confirmed by the City Council Wednesday and will be sworn in Feb. 25. He is finishing up 12 years as the Bronx county clerk - a state court office - and was a Democratic assemblyman from the South Bronx from 1983 to 1995.
“I’m hands-on,” Diaz testified at a committee hearing before nailing his $185,700-a-year plum post. “I go behind each and every department, and I work with the staff because I feel that they should learn from whoever is their supervisor.”
His words may soon be put to a test, with City Hall insiders saying he is expected to shake up the Bronx Marriage Bureau.
Last June, several couples who wanted to be married were allegedly turned away by staffers who wanted to close early so they could have a retirement party.
