Pyramid probe ends with no key answers on Pyramid Cos
Gov. Mario Cuono’s corruption commission will close on December 31 without resolving major questions about influence buying linked to Pyramid Cos of Syracuse. After two years, investigators may never reach the bottom of Pyramid’s role in the 1985 Poughkeepsie election, amid partisan shifts and zoning waivers for an $80 million project.
