New Rochelle Mayor Hires Anthony Weiner PR Guru to Run School District Crisis Response

The City of New Rochelle will pay $20,000 a month for a prominent Democratic public relations firm to provide "crisis management" services to the New Rochelle Board of Education. In a further sign that the Mayor, having hand-picked school board members for years, has taken effective control of the school system, Noam Bramson has "hired" Risa Heller, a Democratic political operative with close ties to Anthony Weiner.
