Candidates for NY comptroller square off in debate

ALBANY, N.Y. (AP) — New York Comptroller Thomas DiNapoli said Wednesday night in a candidates’ debate that his office is continuing to review expense payments to state legislators, like the audit that led to criminal charges against an assemblyman two weeks ago.

Republican challenger Robert Antonacci is seeking to replace DiNapoli as New York’s chief financial officer. In their debate, DiNapoli was asked if he was doing a broad-based review of the 213 state legislators’ expenses.
