Another Authority Head Probed....Is Anybody Surprised?

To All, In today’s NY Post there was yet another article ( Power Chief Probed Over No Bid Deals) about how the Executive Director of the NY Power Authority is being investigated for allegedly handing out millions in grants to politically connected organizations. Power Chief Probed Over No Bid Deals http://www.nypost.com/p/news/local/power_chief_probed_over_no_bid_deals_CcR7dnYOHJKyiOz2niqCIK Once again this will be a topic for a couple of days and then nothing will be done. If the new Governor or the new Attorney General really wanted to make a difference they would have an independent audit of all of the Authorities and Corporations that are just homes for political appointments in return for favors in the past. For years we have been calling attention to these Authorities that pay billions in compensation ad benefits to part time or no show Board Members or employees but nothing is ever done. Take a moment to read a few of our past posts that have been ignored by both our elected officials and the press.
