District CFO Not Leaving for Different Job

WASHINGTON - The District's chief financial officer will stay at his post and not take a job with Amtrak, WTOP Radio has learned.

Natwar Gandhi, who currently makes $186,000 a year, was reportedly offered as much as $275,000 by Amtrak. Gandhi met with D.C. Mayor Adrian Fenty and Council Chairman Vincent Gray on Monday and was offered an additional $93,000 to stay with the District.

Gandhi's raise would require a change to the home rule charter. A letter will be sent to the D.C. City Council requesting the charter change.

Fenty tells WTOP he's not taking anything for granted, but confirms he did meet with Gandhi.
