Albany pact ends state jobs feud over SIC appointments
A week long dispute between Gov. Maria Cuomo and State Senate Leader Warren Anderson over Temporary State Commission of Investigation appointments ends in a compromise. The SIC expands from four to six members with one seat for Anderson and one for Assembly Speaker Fink, shifting balance to one third each for governor and lawmakers. Cuomo will name a Republican chair and a Democrat member, and a special task force will study the commission’s future amid investigations into organized crime and misconduct by public officials. The deal requires legislative and Cuomo approval and ends a looming political standoff.
