ALBANY -- New York Comptroller Thomas DiNapoli is suspending or reducing the public pensions of five more lawyers and an accountant in his ongoing investigation of contractors wrongly listed as public employees.
DiNapoli says membership in the New York State and Local Retirement System has been revoked for Niagara Falls attorney Maria Massaro, Long Island attorneys William Cullen and Nathan Swergold, and Albany-area attorney M. Cornelia Cahill. He rescinded service credit for attorney Maureen Harris, also from the Albany area, and Salvatore Evola, an accountant from Long Island, which reduces their benefits.
Most of the cases involve school districts wrongly reporting the contractors as employees, but officials are reviewing the practice in all the state's local governments.
