Committee to begin looking at BOL expenses
The Westchester County board’s Committee on Internal Controls and Procedures — which was created in the wake of the Gary Kriss controversy — holds its second meeting Wednesday morning and, according to Chairman Ken Jenkins, will begin looking at how the legislature has been spending money and what it’s been spending it on.
“We are looking at the expenses and we are going to see what processes have been followed,” Jenkins, a Yonkers Democrat, said.
Jenkins said the five-member committee will begin by looking at the board’s 2008 expenses, including those of Kriss, whose taxpayer-funded spending is the subject of an investigation by the Westchester District Attorney’s Office.
Serving on the committee with Jenkins are board Minority Leader George Oros, R-Cortlandt; Bill Burton, D-Ossining; Peter Harckham, D-Katonah; and Gordon Burrows, R-Yonkers.

Wow, it’s reassuring that Jenkins is chairing this committee.
“Oh. . .sorry! I’ve only been here a year. . .haven’t been looking at the books!”
Again, folks: re-read Orwell, Eric Hoffer, Ayn Rand—and Woodward and Bernstein.
Don’t trust ANY of these people. Throw them out of office next year.
Does anyone else see a problem here? A panel of 5 people whom are all County Legislators are reviewing and investigating the County Legislators spending. ARE YOU KIDDING ME???!!!
A problem? Yes. It’s the old cliche’ about the fox guarding the henhouse. Typical of Ryan and Andy’s Gang.
