YONKERS – Former prosecutor and corporate finance attorney Daniel Schorr has been confirmed as Yonkers’ city inspector general. He replaces outgoing Inspector General Philip Zisman when he takes over on February 16.

Mayor Philip Amicone, who nominated Schorr last month, said he is “the right man for the job.”

Schorr was a prosecutor in both the Westchester County and Queens County district attorney’s offices and was a vice president in the law division of Morgan Stanley for three years.

The Yonkers inspector general is an independent, investigative office that works to ensure that city government and all city agencies operate within the law and function with effectiveness.
