We are pleased with today’s ruling by the Court of Appeals validating the Governor’s and Legislature’s decision to create an ethics agency that is not dominated by those it oversees. That validation is especially important now, when the need for an agency with our mission is as great as it has ever been.
As it has done continuously from its inception, the Commission will administer and enforce the state’s ethics and lobbying laws, deliberately, fairly, and with zeal, pursuing its mission to restore New Yorkers’ faith in state government.
