CITY TECH-NICAL FOUL

* The Conflicts-of-Interest Board has rebuked Paul Cosgrave, commissioner of the Department of Information, Technology & Telecommunications, for mixing business and charity.

Cosgrave was slapped with a “warning letter” for providing a Florida nonprofit firm with a list of DOITT-connected people it could solicit for a major fund-raiser at which he was the featured speaker.

Cosgrave serves as an unpaid member of the charity’s board.
