2019 Commission on Legislative,
Judicial
& Executive Compensation
Governor Cuomo's appointment of
James Malatras
Disqualified for interest, arising from his years as one of Governor
Cuomo's top aides -- in which he reasonably would have known of
CJA's October 27, 2011 opposition report and correspondence with the
Governor and declaratory judgment action and subsequent
citizen-taxpayer actions based thereon and the unconstitutionality
and unlawfuness of the state budget -- and of which he certainly became
aware as President of the Rockefeller Institute of Government, to which Governor
Cuomo appointed him in February 2017, where he participated in its
long-standing corrupting of its scholarship obligations
