Get rid of all the political non-entities and let the people who really know this business run it. This includes Gil, Fat boy and all their cronies who got their jobs because of who they know,not what they know.

Please add CFO – Libby McCarthy to this list as well as Tursi’s replacement – Ms. Pasquale.

Victoria Simon belongs to the little twerp’s (Gil Q)entourage…not saying she shouldn’t be looked at, but she’s not a FOKer by birth.

Everyone gets raises except Executive Vice Presidents and Up. So most (if not all) of Richie’s posse will get raises. I don’t think he said the Unions approved the raises, he stated that he informed the Union reps in the AM that we were getting raises and they were “happy” for us.

It is true that NYPA can trace the wherebouts of a person by their ID badge. Most of Kessel’s posse has company issued vehicles – they don’t borrow from the Fleet. Also they all have Blackberrys and messages can be traced from where they were sent – that is another way to trace their wherabouts….

So the info that Mr. Marlin is requesting is available. The Corporate Secretary’s office will charge him 25 cents per page though (and I don’t think they will double side it – even though it is a default print setting.)

So what is happening with Gil – no one hears from him anymore……

PASNY Tech,
The records were always readily available when the previous IG wanted to screw some honest hard working employee. Why wouldn’t they be readily available now? IT has records of all of the requested information and Fleet has all the car records. And yes, use of the cars is by law taxable if used for commuting purposes. It is a shame all of the good people at NYPA have to put up with this nitwit and his posturing and blustering. WOW, 3%, is he trying to buy goodwill? How about all of the money lost by people in their pensions because of the lack of raises in past years. Where are Fred Dicker and Brodsky when you need them? Wish I had a way to contact George Marlin in private so I could fill him in on some other things. George, look into the upcoming Background screening contract, who is the lowest bid and who is trying to disqualify them so Vinnie Vesce’s company can get the contract.

Yes, I hope you are successful finding out who NYPA has paid off. I would like to know how much money they gave to the Citizens Campaign for the Environment…. or How many jobs were awarded to members of CCE…. the CCE has sold out to industry they could care less about the envuronment.

I respectfully disagree and I’m surprised that I do because I generally agree with you. I think you should give him a shot because he is our only chance unless you want Cuomo and I’m betting you don’t.

Mr Marlin – thank you.

Finally someone has had the balls to ask the obvious questions.

I understand that everything you have asked for should have been recorded. IT has a way of tracking when you logged into the system, when you logged out etc. Cars should also be logged. Time can be logged with the card key system at each site. The IRS should also be notified about the abuse of the cars. Isn’t it a taxable perk, if you have a car that is used to commute to and from work (rather than for official business to and from a site?)

-Jaded PASNY Tech.

Phil Mihiney – Yes, it will be very interesting to see how NYPA responds to this request. The information, while not readily available, is definitely there.

SCC – Thank you for finally taking this on. Dickie Kessel will have a full team of lawyers working to thwart every one of your requests. However your persistence will pay off. Remember to question why Ms. Cusack is now an employee. I wonder how often she is at work. Does she have a PC? How often is she on line? That can all be tracked too.

Dickie had an all hands meeting last week. I think he is feeling the heat. He finally gave a merit increase (first since 2008) to the management employees. This raise didn’t go to his posse (Fran, Rocco,Victoria etc), it went to the people who keep the plants running and producing power. This revenue allows Dickie to give away more money to his friends and allies.

It was embarassing to hear him talk at the meeting. He is a buffoon. After telling everyone how much he travelled over the state this summer, he said that he felt the raise was justified. He said the UNION approved of the raise. Why would anyone running a company care that a bargaining unit approve of a pay raise to your management employees? This guy should be a contestant on “The Biggest Loser” not running the once proud New York Power Authority.

George,
As one in the know, be assured that the records you get will be doctored or mysteriously erased (like the previous IG’s blackberry, way to go Dom, or the plane records, Lori)or not available, can’t locate them, their dog ate them, take your pick, but these corrupt maniacs will somehow find a way to circumvent the law and not provide what you requested. Keep up the good fight, some day, some one will listen (probably when they want to get elected)and do something about this disgraceful situation.

Comment on Political corruption, New York style – By George J. Marlin by pasnytech

What about corruption at NYPA? Is anyone going to start investigating what is going on there?

Jobs for friends.

All jobs must be signed off by our feckless leader, just in case he misses a chance to give a job to a LIPA or Albany lackey.

Cars – all our wonderful new hires use the car pool as their own personal Hertz. No wonder there are never cars available for REAL NYPA employees to do REAL work.

Expenses – feckless leader and his feckless followers – known unaffectionately as “The FOK’ers” (Friends Of Kessel) – there is a new rule about expenses which should be investigated by the AG. The most senior person no longer pays the bill. I wonder why that is?

I could go on, but it’s pointless. Mr Marlin – could you please FOIL the car pool records? And expenses claims?
