Queens Library Fires Its Boss After Reviewing His Spending
SOME EXCERPTS:
Thomas Galante, who has served as the library's president and CEO for more than a decade, had been under fire for months for his salary and spending, including $140,000 for renovating his office at the library's main branch in Jamaica....
...Galante spent more than $40,000 on his library credit card for dining and entertainment.
The decision comes amid a series of ongoing investigations by the city's Department of Investigation and the FBI probing the library over its construction spending.
City Comptroller Scott Stringer also conducted an audit, which showed that Galante used his organization’s money to pay for lavish dinners, concert tickets, furniture and Mets memorabilia.
