Our view: Start over on oversight for NY ethics
“We support the growing chorus of voices calling for a complete overhaul of ethics oversight in New York, and we urge the Legislature to approve amending to the state constitution to make it happen…. Reinvent Albany, Citizens Union, the New York City Bar Association and other groups surveyed other states and reported last month that New York’s public accountability is “among the very weakest in the nation.” They have called on Cuomo and legislative leaders to create an independently appointed commission to replace JCOPE and the Legislative Ethics Commission though a constitutional amendment.”
