Former State Police Supt. Admits Violating Law
Posted on Tuesday, 24 of November , 2009 at 11:23 pm
ALBANY — The State Commission on Public Integrity announced Tuesday it has reached a settlement with Preston Felton, former Acting Superintendent of the State Police, in the matter that became known as Troopergate.
As part of the agreement, Felton admitted that he violated Public Officers Law “by acceding to requests communicated to him by William Howard, former assistant secretary for Homeland security, to create documents and transmit sensitive information concerning senate Majority Leader Joseph Bruno’s use of State aircraft for trips to New York City and his ground itineraries during such trips.”
The law does not authorize the commission to assess a monetary penalty against Felton for this violation.
The notice and settlement are available on-line at http://www.nyintegrity.org/enforcement/norc.html
