Health commissioner's private transition pay questioned
Health Commissioner Dr Barbara DeBuono refused to reveal last year’s pay from a private transition fund linked to Gov Pataki. She earns 152335 as commissioner, and ethics filings show more than 1000 paid to the fund in early 1995, with she declining to disclose totals or donors. The fund’s contributors include medical and pharmaceutical groups, while Pataki cites limited involvement. Dollinger pressed questions at a Senate hearing and was briefly cut off by chair Hannon, drawing Republican criticism. Pataki defended DeBuono's independence and praised her impact on health care.
