ALBANY — State Comptroller Thomas DiNapoli is gaining the support of Governor Spitzer in making ethical and oversight reforms permanent in the handling of the $150 billion state pension fund.
Mr. DiNapoli is proposing regulations that would establish more strict ethical standards for all workers in the comptroller’s office, a ban on campaign contributions by staff members, and a permanent inspector general to handle complaints about ethical behavior.
Mr. DiNapoli ordered most of the changes after he succeeded Alan Hevesi, who resigned after a scandal involving his use of state workers as drivers for his wife.
