ALBANY New York’s ethics oversight agency has a top staffer to lead its operations after having gone two years with the position unfilled. And for the first time, that key post at the Joint Commission on Public Ethics will not be filled by a former staffer of Gov. Andrew M. Cuomo.
Following a lengthy meeting on Tuesday, JCOPE announced on Wednesday the hiring of Sanford Berland as its executive director. He is the fourth executive director in JCOPE’s 10-year history.
