ALBANY—State Senator George Winner, who led an investigation in his own chamber into the “Troopergate” affair, said the members of the Commission on Public Integrity are “dragging their feet” in dealing with a complaint concerning leaks about Caroline Kennedy from David Paterson’s office.
“The fact that they’re dragging their feet is once again typical response when dealing with the executive branch,” Winner said. He believes that Herb Teitelbaum, COPI’s executive director, was in “cahoots” with the Spitzer administration. While some of his top aides were implicated in a COPI report on the matter, Spitzer was not.
The New York Times reported this morning that the matter was first brought before the commission two months ago.
