In an "exclusive," the NY Post looks at Finance Commissioner Martha Stark's relationships in her department—leading with how she "has been dating a former assistant commissioner in her department—which also hired her lover's ex-husband and three of Stark's family members." Dara Ottley-Brown was Stark's "assistant commissioner in the property division between 2004 and 2006. But Stark says the love affair started after Ottley-Brown transferred to another department." The Post also describes photographs of Stark and Ottley-Brown (found on Ottley-Brown's daughter's Facebook page) and lists other relations working there in this graphic. Stark told the Post, "I have never used my position to obtain any advantage for any relative or personal relation, and I have not had a personal relationship with any subordinate." Last month, Stark resigned from the board of a national real estate company (that does not do work in NYC) after the Post revealed the gig earned her an extra $90K in 2007.

A high school intern worked for 12 days at $7.50 an hour. Is that even worth mentioning? Who cares?
In isolation, it'd be insignificant. Since it helps establish a pattern, it is not.
its hilarious, all the forms the city has employees fill out, yet this happens. C'mon hiring your gf x-husband in a city of 8 million people - how is that not nepotism?
Let's not forget that you don't have to live in NYC to work for the city. So put that eight million figure aside. The Combined Statistical Area population (which is based on commuting patterns) is close to 22 million.
Ah, coincidence!
Boogie days!!!
