CPI Begins Shedding Staff

The Times Union’s Capitol Confidential blog is reporting that “a dozen staffers at the Commission on Public Integrity were informed they will be laid off next month.”

Citing David Grandeau, former Executive Director of the Lobbying Commission, CapCon reports that 12 people were told that their last day of work will be September 7th.

The CPI is winding down its activities, and will be replaced by the new Joint Commission on Public Ethics (JCOPE) on December 13th.
