"Those that force themselves to be in the limelight end up getting their just dessert... A mud pie"
-By Chato B Stewart

NEW YORK – The wife of Monkees vocalist Micky Dolenz was arrested Friday on charges that she defrauded an affordable housing program in New York City.
Authorities in the city's Department of Investigation said Donna Quinter, 54, illegally received $136,866 in government rental subsidies for an apartment on Manhattan's Upper East Side.
The subsidies were supposed to go to middle-income families living in the city year-round who were in danger of being forced out by gentrification.
Investigators say Quinter failed to disclose that she was sharing the apartment with a friend who paid rent. The home also wasn't her only residence. Since marrying Dolenz in 2002, the former flight attendant has lived with her husband in Bell Canyon, Calif., an exclusive gated community outside Los Angeles.
Quinter surrendered to authorities in New York on Friday morning. She was expected to be arraigned later on larceny charges in a Manhattan court. see more here-

"After nearly eight years of managing New York City's mountainous waste disposal system, Sanitation Commissioner, Norman Steisel, is leaving public service for the investment business. He deserves warm appreciation for mastering a job that is truly central to the city's survival. While making progress in the day-to-day clean-up of New York City."
Deputy Mayor Norman Steisel of NYC
Norman Steisel returned to city government from 1990-1994 when he was named First Deputy Mayor of the City of New York. In this capacity he was the CEO of the city government responsible for day-to-day management of all governmental operations, and the oversight of a $30 billion annual operating budget and a four-year $20 billion capital program. Deputy Mayor Norman Steisel was responsible for streamlining operations and systems that resulted in annual budget reductions of $2.0 billion. In addition, Mr. Steisel reversed the decade-long trend of local taxes consuming an increasing share of Gross City Product (“GCP”). Mr. Steisel directed the out-sourcing of numerous governmental functions: fleet procurement, vehicle and facility maintenance and treasury functions. Deputy Mayor Norman Steisel oversaw the city’s emergency coordinated response activities, supervising in that role the response to the 1993 terrorist attack on the World Trade Center.
