The city's embattled Department of Design and Construction commissioner paid for good PR, giving a contract to a magazine publisher that included her devoting an entire issue to his accomplishments, according to records and agency sources.
DDC Commissioner Feniosky Pena-Mora, whose time at the agency has been marred by accusations of cronyism, gave $55,000 in city contracts to Renee Sacks in the past year — despite negative reviews of her work and his top advisors discouraging him from continuing to give her business, agency sources said.
As part of one of her contracts, Sacks' firm, Sacks Communications, made its spring 2016 issue of Diversity/Agenda magazine all about Pena-Mora. The cover of the glossy is a headshot of Pena-Mora, followed by 34 pages of fawning coverage of him. |
