Committee forwards Ben Rosenfield’s nomination for Controller to full Board

The Rules Committee heard a confirmation presentation from Ben Rosenfield, the mayor’s nominee for city Controller. Rosenfield outlined a decade of city budget experience — including roles as budget analyst, mayoral budget director and work on the city’s first 10‑year capital plan — and emphasized three priorities for the Controller’s office: rigorous analysis, clear presentation of financial information to policymakers and independence from both executive and legislative branches.
