Comptroller Dylan Spring Resigns Under Pressure

Dylan Spring lasted five months. Hired in February 2024, he resigned in July under pressure from the city council to deliver overdue quarterly reports and close the books on 2023. State law required those reports. The administration had not filed them since before Mantello took office. His departure left the seat open for months, with outside accounting firms picking up the work at a cost that eventually topped $260,000.
