发帖数: 553 | 1 Many Openings at State Agency Go to Those With Ties to Cuomo
ALBANY — New York State’s economic development agency created a new
position last June, and then found a candidate to fill it: a young man named
Willard Younger, who had just graduated from Colgate University with a
degree in classics and religion. He became a special projects associate, at
a salary of $45,000 a year, according to state personnel records.
His father, Stephen P. Younger, is a lawyer and power broker in legal
circles who was a member of one of Gov. Andrew M. Cuomo’s transition teams.
He has also donated $26,000 to Mr. Cuomo’s campaigns over the years,
disclosure records show.
The next month, the agency hired 23-year-old Andrew Moelis, a University of
Pennsylvania graduate, for another new position, strategic planning
associate, at a salary of $75,000 a year.
Shortly before Mr. Moelis’s first day of work, his father, Ron Moelis, a
prominent real estate developer, gave $25,000 to Mr. Cuomo’s re-election
campaign, according to the records. |
