FOR IMMEDIATE RELEASE
Judge Anthony Carpinello earlier this week
requested the NYPA Board of Trustees to no longer consider him for
appointment to the Authority staff. The Authority has been engaged
in a review of the scope and practices of its current Office of
Inspector General. A potential reorganization plan could include a
redefined position that would not provide the same professional
opportunities that were originally discussed when Judge Carpinello
was conditionally appointed in December, 2008.

energy-efficiency, new energy technologies and electric
transportation initiatives. ■ It is the
nation’s largest state-owned electric utility, with 18 generating
