Conflicts of Interest Panel Fines Former City Official
A former city official and political power broker has been fined $15,000 by a conflicts of interest panel for misusing city resources and staff for work related to his private law practice.
Stanley Schlein, the former chairman of the New York City Civil Service Commission, acknowledged that he had asked staffers to perform legal work related to his private clients, all while on city time and using a city-owned computer, telephone, and copy and fax machines.
In a settlement with the Conflicts of Interest Board signed last month and released Wednesday, Schlein admitted to the allegations and agreed to pay the $15,000 fine.
A veteran of Bronx Democratic politics, Schlein also acknowledged that he used his city phone for personal matters, totaling more than 2,000 calls from January 2004 to September 2006.
