ALBANY - The state budget negotiated by New York's Democratic leaders would close three minimum security prison camps upstate and shutter a once prominent investigative agency established in the 1950s.
Budget officials say Camp Pharsalia in Chenango County, Camp McGregor in Saratoga County and Camp Gabriels in Franklin County will close. There was no immediate estimate Monday of how much the move will save.
The deal also includes Gov. David Paterson's proposal to save $4.15 million by letting the state Commission of Investigation go out of business. The commission has broad authority to investigate corruption, misconduct and mismanagement in state and local government. Voting is expected this week on the $131.8 billion budget.
