New York State Comptroller Thomas P. DiNapoli announced today the following audits have been issued:

New York State Comptroller Thomas P. DiNapoli today announced the arrest of former city of Corning clerk Stephanie Burlew. She was charged with grand larceny in the third degree, a class D felony, for allegedly misappropriating more than $5,000 in public funds by pocketing parking permit fees; code enforcement fees; utility receipts; water and sewer fees; and parking summons fees.

New York State Comptroller Thomas P. DiNapoli today announced a tentative schedule for the planned sale of obligations for the state, New York City, and their major public authorities during the third quarter of 2014.

"Former Assemblyman Vincent Graber was a dedicated public servant who garnered great respect from his colleagues on both sides of the aisle. He will be missed. He was a powerful voice for western New York and championed important safety initiatives such as the infant car seat law and the seat belt law, both of which served as national models. I offer my heartfelt condolences to his wife Pat and his family during this difficult time."

New York State Comptroller Thomas P. DiNapoli announced the guilty plea today in Suffolk County Court of former Old Field treasurer Andrea Brosnan to grand larceny for stealing nearly $60,000 from the village.

Brosnan, 43, stole nearly $60,000 to shop on eBay and Amazon.com and pay divorce expenses, as well as collecting nearly $13,000 in unearned salary, according to an audit and investigation by DiNapoli’s office. The findings were referred to Suffolk County District Attorney Thomas J. Spota, who conducted a further investigation last year.

New York state is in a stronger financial position, reflecting better budgeting and financial practices and an improved economy, according to a report on the 2014-15 state Financial Plan released today by New York State Comptroller Thomas P. DiNapoli. More remains to be done to align recurring revenues with recurring spending and to limit the use of temporary resources.

New York State Comptroller Thomas P. DiNapoli today estimated a potential Long Island Rail Road (LIRR) strike could cause up to $50 million in lost economic activity each day.

“A LIRR strike would cause headaches and financial hardships for riders and businesses. It would also be another devastating blow to a region that is still struggling to recover from Superstorm Sandy and the recession,” DiNapoli said. “Both sides must go the extra mile to reach a reasonable settlement so we can avoid the costly impact of a strike and the millions of dollars in lost economic activity.”

An audit of five counties by State Comptroller Thomas P. DiNapoli’s office found that hundreds of county jail inmates received inappropriate payments totaling more than $236,000 from various social welfare programs and almost $325,000 in state unemployment insurance (UI).
