Chief Prober For Gov. Cuomo's Anti-Corruption Commission Stepping Down

BY KEN LOVETT
Here is an expanded version of my story from today's late print edition:

The chief investigator for Gov. Cuomo's anti-corruption commission is set to become the panel’s second high-profile departure in recent weeks, the Daily News has learned.

Danya Perry, a former assistant US attorney who was hired by the commission last summer to root out legislative corruption, is ready to resign from the panel on Friday.

Sources familiar with her thinking said she only planned to stay in the job through the end of 2013, but added that her time at the commission left her “frustrated"over interference from the governor's office and commission infighting.

Either the Times is not covering this stuff or I'm just missing it.

We neglect this issue at our peril.
