Treyger wants Dept. of Investigation to monitor Sandy funds
Working with Ulrich to sponsor bipartisan bill
The city should create a monitor at the Department of Investigation to look at how dollars earmarked for Hurricane Sandy recovery are spent, according to two City Council members who sponsored a bipartisan bill aimed at keeping close tabs on expenditures.
Council members Mark Treyger (D-Coney Island-Gravesend-Bensonhurst) and Eric Ulrich (R-Belle Harbor-Breezy Point-Howard Beach) both represent districts that suffered devastating damage from Hurricane Sandy.
The two lawmakers recently introduced legislation that would create a city monitor at the Department of Investigation (DOI) to ensure efficient use of taxpayer dollars in the Sandy recovery process.
