NYC Comptroller Brad Lander got OK from conflicts board on contracts with non-profits tied to wife’s group

Lander sought the guidance a day after the Daily News reported that dozens of non-profits that have contracts with the city are also members of his wife Meg Barnette’s group, Nonprofit New York. Since January, when Lander took office, non-profits tied to the group have received contracts totaling at least $544 million from the city.
