Public servants are prohibited from taking any official action to benefit any person or firm 'associated' with that public servant,' said Carolyn Miller, executive director of the city's Conflicts of Interest Board.
No such waiver was granted to Chancellor Banks, who met with Marlon Lindsay, the CEO of a tech-ed company that later collected $1.4 million in taxpayer funds from city schools.
The COIB 'has almost never granted a waiver for a public servant to take an official action to benefit a person or firm' that he or she is associated with, Miller said.
This month, the FBI raided the Harlem home that Chancellor Banks shares with his fiancee, confiscating both their cell phones.
