FOIL disclosures received from the New York State Comptroller's Office regarding Delaware County no-bid contracts

I received a massive disclosure from the New York State Comptroller's Office regarding the audit conducted by that office this year, report released in May 2015.

I was forced to file a FOIL request with the NYS Comptroller's office because Delaware County kept stalling my FOILs filed directly with it by claiming that I did not reasonably described the records that I needed while I described the contracts I need to see as those that the Delaware County provided for audit by the NYS Comptroller's office, which is an exhaustive description of what I wanted to see.  

Now that I received disclosures from NYS Comptroller's office, I see why I was stalled by Delaware County.

The disclosures contain reports of interviews with various Delaware County officials, those who remain in office at this time (such as County Attorney Porter Kirkwood) and who resigned (such as former Commissioner of Social Services William Moon).

Interview reports disclose a lot of information that was not disclosed to the public in the final audit report of the Comptroller's office pertaining to names of County officials involved in unreported conflict-of-interest situations, improprieties with contracts and conjured-up explanations for no-bidding of millions of dollars worth in contracts.

I am reviewing the disclosures and will start publishing them, with comments, as soon as I fully review and digest them, and do the needed additional research on some information I discovered in the disclosed documents.

Stay tuned.
