Audit of Cuomo quickly put off By CASEY SEILER State Editor Published: 12:00 a.m., Saturday, November 6, 2010
ALBANY -- Comptroller Tom DiNapoli's office suspended its sole audit of the attorney general's office almost immediately after launching it almost a year ago.
The audit of the attorney general's Civil Recoveries Bureau was, and remains, DiNapoli's only examination of Andrew Cuomo's office since the former assemblyman was appointed to the post in January 2007.
The audit was first reported by the Times Union a week after the customary "engagement letter" was sent to the attorney general's office in December 2009. The Civil Recoveries Bureau is assigned to recover money owed to state agencies through litigation.
"We issued the engagement letter, and shortly after that we suspended the field work," said DiNapoli spokesman Dennis Tompkins.
Asked to explain the reason behind the suspension, Tompkins said, "We had a temporary shift in priorities."
Tompkins would not respond when asked if the attorney general's office had requested the postponement of the audit, which would have been conducted during Cuomo's investigation of the pension fund scandal involving DiNapoli's predecessor, Alan Hevesi. The probe, which at the time was also examining DiNapoli's conduct in office, is ongoing.
"I can't comment on the investigation into the pension fund," Tompkins said.
hmmmmmm.....and as usual the sheople just give this a pass!!!

Nothing changes on Day One! Did you hear the latest funny from Gov-elect Cuomo? He will cut millions in State aid to schools. Since the area school boreds won't cut anything-guess who will make up the difference? YOU. Instead of State aid districts will turn to the oppressed sheeple to pay more property taxes.
This will really slam the Schenectady District which is facing losses of City taxes, State aid and Federal stimulus money. Maybe the new members will announce some cuts before late April? lol. They're too busy creating new political parties.
