Related: About this forumMoreland Commission lawyer to cost taxpayers up to $300,000
Joseph Spector
The state Comptrollers Office has approved a $300,000 contract with an Albany-based law firm to represent the now defunct Moreland Commission in an investigation by the U.S. Attorneys Office.
The contract was approved Friday, a spokeswoman for the comptrollers office said. It was also approved by the state Attorney Generals Office. It was started on May 16 and runs through Dec. 31.
The contract with the firm, Hinckley, Allen & Snyder LLP, will also include a $550 an hour charge to its top attorney in the case, Michael Koenig, the Wall Street Journal reported.
