Comptroller

Damian Williams, the United States Attorney for the Southern District of New York, announced that VANIA MAY BELL, the former comptroller of Executive ...

He was also ordered to serve three years of supervised release, pay $8,041,233 in restitution and forfeit $11,452,185. To help perpetuate the fraud, BELL and MAY created phony “consolidated” account statements that they issued through ECP and sent to the Victims. BELL was instrumental to the scheme in multiple ways. These “consolidated” account statements purported to reflect the Victims’ total portfolio balances and included the names of bonds MAY falsely represented that he purchased for the Victims and the amounts of interest the Victims were supposedly earning on the bonds. (“ECP”), a registered investment adviser and financial planning firm located in New City, New York, was sentenced to 80 months in prison for participating in a conspiracy with her father, HECTOR MAY, the former president of ECP, to defraud certain investment advisory clients (the “Victims”) out of more than $11 million. In order to obtain money from the Victims’ securities accounts with Broker Dealer-1, MAY advised the Victims, among other things, that they should use money from those accounts to have ECP, rather than Broker Dealer-1, purchase bonds on their behalf.

New York's top money-manager has a few ideas for curbing corruption in New York, including a proposed blackout period for campaign donations from companies ...

“If we can strengthen the impact our audits could have, I think that would be helpful.” Rodriguez has said, if elected, he’d use the office as a bully pulpit to push policy. Each review includes a list of recommendations, but the subject isn’t required to implement them. “I think it’s key for the governor to sign it,” DiNapoli said. DiNapoli also lost some of his office’s oversight powers during the pandemic, when Cuomo suspended review of certain state contracts. But a version of that bill is now in the hands of Gov. Beyond that, the audits published by DiNapoli’s office only carry as much weight as the subject’s response, he said. Hochul hasn’t taken a public position on the legislation, but her office said the bill is under review. But the State Comptroller’s office can have tremendous power. Cuomo wanted to skip those audits to expedite certain economic development projects. But DiNapoli said the perception of a connection can be just as impactful for the public, and pitched a black-out period during which companies under consideration for a state contract would not be allowed to dole out donations. “It would be nice if we could tighten up the response to the audits that we put out there,” DiNapoli said

Jason Mumpower said key factors were a plan to use Tax Increment Financing funds as well as having the Chattanooga Lookouts pay at least $1 million per year ...

§ 9-23-103(a)(2) and other contractually imposed restrictions currently listed in the Plans, the Interlocal Cooperative Agreement (the “Agreement”) between the Sports Authority, the City of Chattanooga (the “City”) and Hamilton County (the “County”), and the City’s Resolution No. It states the following: "Best interest of the state" for purposes of an extended plan term means an extended plan term or term extension is reasonably required for plan completion. § 9-23-104, no allocation of tax increment revenues shall be made with respect to any property for a period of more than twenty (20) years in the case of an economic impact plan unless both the Commissioner of the Department of Economic and Community Development and the Comptroller of the Treasury find that the use of tax increment revenues for such purposes is in the best interest of the State of Tennessee. To the extent the tax increment revenues exceed the amount needed to pay debt service on the Sports Authority Bonds, the usage of such excess is governed by Tenn. § 9-23-104, the Economic Impact Plans for the South Broad District (the "Plans") are in the best interest of the State of Tennessee. The comptroller said in a letter to attorney G.

Chair Kathleen C. Mihm (at the head of the table) presides over the commission. Tasked with revisiting the Ulster County Charter, the members of the newly ...

Perhaps the most prominent bone stuck in the throat of the comptroller’s office was its own inability to audit the finances of public authorities. Recommendations to the Charter Revision Committee need not be made by government offices alone. Deputy county comptroller Alicia DeMarco came armed with a list of preliminary recommendations organized by the comptroller’s office for the committee’s review. “We felt like there were certain positions, obviously, that should be restricted from outside employment due to actual or perceived conflicts of interest,” said DeMarco. The comptroller feels that the position of Commissioner of Finance should be banned from outside employment of any kind. And we had a favorable opinion that we did have audit authority. “I don’t know if you guys are all familiar with the [compensation review] committee, but they recently came out with recommendations to increase the elected officials’ salaries. There may be similar logic to spacing out any untimely opportunity to meddle with the charter. It’s theorized that cicadas, which share a similar time-line, stay underground as long as they do to avoid the predations of natural enemies. There’s little glory for the appointed commission members. Then the voters will have their say during the 2023 general election cycle. Led by chair Kathleen Mihm, the commission, with ample representation of experienced politicos, can be thought of as a think tank granted the power to decide what amendments or revisions to the charter are on or off the table.

The Tennessee comptroller Tuesday issued a conditional determination that a plan to finance the proposed $79.4 million Chattanooga Lookouts stadium is in ...

Revenues from the tax district of about 470 acres around the stadium would pay for 58% of the project, officials said. Kelly has said the stadium and other development in the area would begin a transformation of the city's western gateway. To help repay the bonds, the City Council and County Commission approved the special tax district to capture future property taxes around the stadium. "We're grateful that the comptroller has offered a favorable opinion of the proposed tax increment financing (TIF) district for the South Broad revitalization project," she said. It asked for a copy of the final contract lease be filed with the comptroller's office. The letter asked for inclusion of that restriction in future bond documents.
