Hey, it’s Dan. We’re nearly to the last weekend of the summer.
In today’s CapCon, a former employee at the state Office of Mental Health alleges she was sexually assaulted by her supervisor in her Albany office after repeated advances. Then she was fired. Now she’s suing him and the state.
Then, a new bill seeks to revisit the question of whether New York should overhaul the AIM formula, which is used to dole out aid and incentives for municipalities each year.
Later, changes in this year’s state budget around billing disputes between health insurance and providers are this week’s Rules and Regs.
Names in today’s CapCon: Matthew Canuteson, Dan Ragone, Aimee Cowan, Daniel J. Stewart, Elizabeth C. Coombe, Donald J. Trump, Michaelle Solages, Bruce Blakeman
