NEW YORK (CBSNewYork) – Citizens Union Executive Director Dick Dadey says public officials, such as Rachel Noerdlinger, serve at the appointment of the mayor, but also serve the public– and as such, are obligated to disclose their background and history under the law.
In September, the Patrolmen’s Benevolent Association called for Noerdlinger, a top aide to New York City’s First Lady, Chirlane McCray, to be removed from her position after being romantically tied to a criminal who has lashed out at cops on social media.
