Seven full time lawyers with benefits are on the books in the Columbia County Attorney's Office but no more than 3 do any work at all, one is reporting as many as 21 hours per day of billed hours, the local DA knows all about the situation, the local chair of the Board of Supervisors knows all about it, the time sheets and other evidence are online, a report has been filed with the New York State Comptroller, over a million dollars has been stolen and what has happened?
Nothing.
No charges, no firings, no inquiry, no accountability of any kind. The rich, crooked lawyers are still getting paid for no show jobs. And plenty of time to back date documents or do other work to cover their tracks. Well, one guy did quit, which looks suspicious, but that's hardly accountability.
No wonder New York is broken. Here's the proof that upstate New York is almost a failed state when it comes to corruption:

Ongoing felony everyday. County Sheriff stopping any investigation or evidence gathering. DA sitting on the case. Comptroller asleep at the switch.
