Letter to NYS Comptroller DiNapoli

I recently wrote to NYS Comptroller DiNapoli requesting that his office expand the scope of the current East Greenbush audit to include an investigation into the use of the GEIS Mitigation Fees (copy below).

However, I am not sure that one voice is sufficient to convince Comptroller DiNapoli to do so.

If you share my concern about this potential misuse of GEIS Mitigation Fee proceeds, please write to Comptroller DiNapoli and copy Chief Examiner Jeffrey P. Leonard at the following addresses supporting my request.  Include a copy of my letter as a reference.

A simple note might be sufficient:

I am writing in support of Peter Stenson's attached request that you expand the current East Greenbush audit to include an investigation into the use of the GEIS Mitigation Fees.

  2. From “Supervisor's Report through July 16, 2015”

    “- GEIS fees were recorded properly, no longer put into a “reserve” account. Escrow funds were appropriately allocated to pay for developers instead of the tax payer funds.”

    Sure hope the State looks into this!
