NYS Ethics Commission: No State Aircraft for Political Events, kinda

By Jrviper ( August 16, 2007 at 4:25 pm) · Filed under Fairness, NY Politics, News, Opportunity

The NYS Ethics Commission today released an advisory opinion on the use of State Aircraft for political purposes. Although this opinion doesn’t directly reference the activities of Senate Majority Leader Joe Bruno, it’s clear the opinion was made with him in mind. From my very quick read of the opinion, a state employee can use State aircraft for political purposes only if certain conditions (i.e. reimbursing the State for the political portion of the expenses and the primary purpose of the trip must be related to State business) are met. You can read the full opinion over at Cap Con. We’ll have much more analysis on this tomorrow morning. So stay tuned…
