Albany Court Upholds Moonlighting Rule etc
In Albany a state Supreme Court ruling upheld a hearing officer finding two troopers guilty of moonlighting during vacation. They received a one day suspension and barred from a promotional exam. The union called the punishment a trickery that blocks a $247 raise and a longevity step, delaying their top pay by a year. The issue is part of contract negotiations between STPEA and the state. The report also notes the death of Most Rev William A Scully bishop of Albany at 74 from bronchial pneumonia. He led the diocese for 14 years and served as priest for 49.
