Leber, who will be replaced on an interim basis by Dennis Regan, the mayor’s director of intergovernmental affairs. > > Also fired was city Solicitor Susan Malie, who will be replaced by law department veteran George Specter, and Finance Director Paul Leger, who will be replaced for now by Budget Director Scott Kunka. > > The mayor “has been saddened and disappointed by the actions of some of his staff members in his absence. He had no choice but to terminate them,” said the mayor’s spokesman, Dick Skrinjar. > > Mr. O’Connor informed the three of their terminations in a conference call at 9:15 this morning.
