Governor Makes JCOPE Appointments

Earlier today, Gov. Cuomo announced two appointments to the Joint Commission on Public Ethics (JCOPE), the state’s ethics and lobbying regulator.

Michael Rozen, a partner at the law firm of Feinberg Rozen, was appointed to fill a vacancy. He is a “nationally renowned lawyer, strategist and negotiator,” and he served as Deputy Special Master of the Federal September 11, 2001 Victim Compensation Fund.

Michael Romeo, who was appointed to fill a vacancy in February 2014, has been reappointed to begin his own term. He is Executive Vice President of Industrial Coverage, a wholly owned company of The United Nations Federal Credit Union.
