To ensure proper oversight at New York's public authorities, it is necessary to provide for independent oversight and scrutiny. An objective and independent Inspector General at an authority is crucial in maintaining adequate oversight into authority operations and management. The process for appointing an Inspector General at PASNY needs to be examined to determine that it safeguards integrity of the office of the Inspector General.
