Thanks to the Manhattan Institute's Empire Center, the city’s payroll is now online, and searchable.
Here what a few of our civil servants make:
Deputy Mayor Kevin Sheekey:$196,574
Counsel to the Mayor, Anthony Crowell:$169,720
Outspoken City Council staffer Viola Plummer:$51,575
Michael Bloomberg's $1 salary is in the database, but other elected officials don't seem to be there.
Simcha Felder's new chief of staff, Ari Hoffnung is not in the system yet.
The best fact I learned is that semi-famous political gadfly Isac Weinberger's day job is at the city's Department of Transportation, and he's listed under "Erno Weinberger,"
He earns $64,735 annually.
"That's my first name," he told me when I called him just now.
