NYSID directed by Governor to save over $13 million
In the Capital Confidential blog this afternoon, Rick Karlin reports that NYS agency commissioners, including the Superintendent of the Insurance Department, have been ordered by Governor Paterson to "focus their operations on their agency's core mission." Gov. Paterson reportedly set "savings targets" for many state agencies.
The list that accompanied the post indicates that the Insurance Department has been directed to save $13,377,000.
That does not bode well for filling the staff positions necessary to get CL6 submissions moving quickly again!
