Syracuse, NY -- The man who will be New York governor in 11 days is calling for more oversight, auditing and ethics training at the state fair.
Much of that oversight should come from an advisory board of political appointees with “experience and training necessary” to guide the $16 million in operations at the fair, according to a report released Monday from Attorney General Andrew Cuomo.
But that 11-member board can only advise: It cannot set policy or veto actions of the fair director.
On Jan. 1, Cuomo will be sworn in as governor. Then he will be the person overseeing the appointment of the fair director and the fair’s advisory board, which has not met since 2006 and currently has no members.
