A new research paper from the Hugh L. Carey Center for Government Reform at Wagner College details how New York’s public authorities became a mechanism for unrestrained spending, why previous reform efforts failed, and what needs to be done to regain control.
The paper is entitled “New York’s Secret Government: Public Authorities Are Out of Control and Threatening the State’s Fiscal Health.”
An innovative, community-driven effort managed by Vision for Staten Island is taking shape and offering a new approach to planning Staten Island’s future. This newly created organization has initiated a “visioning” project using a process pioneered by ACP Visioning+Planning that will bring the Staten Island community together with public and private leaders to create an inclusive and comprehensive vision for the future.
