Eva Moskowitz isn't just backed by Wall Street, she moved there
Eva Moskowitz, the firebrand chief of the citys fastest growing charter chain, isnt just backed by Wall Street, shes officially moved there with Wall Street-type salaries to boot.
Last November, Moskowitz, who for years boasted of opening her Success Academy Charter Schools in the citys poorest neighborhoods, quietly shifted her corporate headquarters from Central Harlem to 95 Pine St. (aka 120 Wall St.).
The new offices will cost her organization $31 million over 15 years, according to its most recent financial report.
The same report shows Moskowitz received an eye-popping $567,000 during the 2012-2013 school year. Thats a raise of $92,000 from the previous year, and more than double the $212,000 paid to Schools Chancellor Carmen Fariña.
That made Moskowitz the citys highest-paid charter school executive last year. Her spokeswoman said Moskowitzs current pay is a less lofty $305,000, with her bonus to be determined at years end.

No.... it makes no sense to me either.
Except in the classic sense. i.e. "You gotta spend $$$ to make $$$$. ( But are we sure it's HER $$$ she's spending?)
How's her test scores, BTW? Oh... you mean she cheats?
I'm shocked.
Quid pro Cuomo LOVES her.
I'm shocked again.
