  • Bharara Moreland Commission Testimony
    Public Hearing of the Moreland Commission to Investigate Public Corruption Prepared Testimony of U.S. Attorney Preet Bharara September 17, 2013 Chairmen Fitzpatrick, Rice, and Williams; distinguished members of the Moreland Commission; U.S. Attorney Lynch; District Attorney Vance; and members of the public, it is a privilege to be here today. I have never testified in a forum like this before, but when the Commission reached out to me, I leapt at the chance because you are engaged in an effort that is dear to my heart not just as a prosecutor but as a New Yorker. As I have made clear to the Commission, I pledge the cooperation and assistance of my office with the Commission’s vitally important work. Fighting public corruption has been a top priority for my office for a long while, as it has been for my friends Loretta Lynch and Cy Vance. The diversity of the officials caught up in our probes reflects not only the level of our commitment but also the depth of the problem in our state. Public corruption, based on all the evidence, appears rampant. And the ranks of those convicted in office have swelled to absolutely unacceptable levels. We have had to prosecute State Senators as well as State Assemblymen; elected officials as well as party leaders; city council members as well as town mayors; Democrats as well as Republicans. In an age often decried for increasingly bitter partisanship, we can say that public corruption in New York is truly a bipartisan affair. Sometimes we have used exclusively federal statutes, but often we have relied on the Travel Act, which requires us to prove a violation of existing state law as a predicate.

Construction is scheduled to begin this year on a trail which will begin at the first of Breakneck’s three plateaus (where the flagpole is located) and lead north down the ridge, connecting with the Wilkinson Trail near the trailhead. The trail will follow the natural “bench,” or shelf, along the ridge, hence the trail’s working title as the Bench Trail, said Amy Kacala, executive director of the newly formed Hudson Highlands Fjord Trail Inc. The trail will form a loop that can be done in less than 90 minutes, although the goal is not to provide a short hike but to reduce the number of injuries and rescues that take place on the popular trail.
