How ethics and transparency work in NYS
The new panel charged with regulating ethics in state
government met late last week.
It met in secret.
It met with no public notice.
A spokesman for the Joint Commission on Public Ethics
defended the move, citing the board’s exemption from the state’s Open Meetings
Law.
That’s right: a committee set up to regulate public ethics
and transparency is legally allowed to meet in complete secrecy.
Is it any wonder why New York state government has
such an abysmal reputation for good governance?
