Welfare probe clash clouds Orange County floor fight
A split between Orange County Executive Louis V. Mills and the legislature over who runs a social services department probe warms into a power struggle. The Friday agenda includes a plan to create a management analysis post for the department, potentially moving the Remsnyder inquiry under Mills. Some committee members fear ceding control to the executive, while others want the study kept within the legislative branch or even transferred to Mills. A special committee meeting in New Windsor aims to draft another interim report for Friday, as factions argue about reporting lines and oversight of a $25 million budget welfare program.
