Lucy Lang: A criminal justice reformer on her first year as state inspector general
It was a little over a year ago that Lucy Lang was making a run for Manhattan District Attorney after spending the bulk of her career as an assistant DA. Yet, it was her missing out on the DA position that led to her appointment as state inspector general. Tomorrow will mark her first full year in office, and as a career criminal justice reformer she’s brought her own distinct vision to leading the office of the state IG. The appointment of her predecessor by ex-Gov. Andrew Cuomo was largely seen as placing a loyalist within the state office, which is supposed to function as a government watchdog. Letizia Tagliafierro’s tenure ended in her resignation amidst criticism over an investigation into an alleged 2019 leak from the state Joint Commission on Public Ethics.
The Kathy Hochul-appointed Lang entered at a time when restoring the reputation of the inspector general’s role was a top priority. That’s why she’s been taking steps to show the public what exactly her office does, including creating social media accounts to better get the word out. City and State sat down with the state IG, to gather her reflections on her tenure so far. Read more here. – Erik Lazo |

The Child Center of NY (TCCNY) announced it has received a $450,000 gift from the William J. and Dorothy K. O'Neill Foundation. The gift is directed to The Child Center’s pioneering Cash+Community Works initiative, which invests in under-resourced families with capital, trusts them with power, and connects them with peers. The program, which launched this spring, will involve 300 families in Queens and Manhattan over the course of its three-year pilot phase.
New York Attorney General Letitia James released her annual “Pennies for Charity: Fundraising by Professional Fundraisers” report, which analyzes data submitted to the Office of the Attorney General’s Charities Bureau by professional fundraisers on their 2021 charitable fundraising campaigns in New York. The report looks at trends in the sector, provides guidance and tips for donors, and gives charities information on fundraisers’ performance. This year’s report found that professional fundraisers received over a quarter of every dollar donated to charities that employed them in 2021 in fees and expenses – a total of more than $460 million. Analyzing 658 campaigns conducted by professional fundraisers in 2021, the report finds that charities received 73% of donations, in line with the year prior and a small increase from 2019. Professional fundraisers are outside, for-profit organizations often hired by charities to run campaigns.

The three COVID-19 Centers of Excellence, located in the Bronx, Brooklyn and Queens, offer primary care along with a variety of specialists for New Yorkers facing long-term symptoms after a coronavirus infection – though Long COVID advocates said the clinics lack some necessary specialists. Health + Hospitals officials fear not enough people are taking advantage of the care resources available to them (Gothamist) … The FDNY’s efforts to diversify its ranks are likely to pick up steam under five new measures Mayor Eric Adams signed into law yesterday morning at the department’s Randalls Island training facility. The laws – all of which went into effect immediately after being signed – require that the FDNY implement a plan to hire more women and nonwhite firefighters, upgrade firehouses to accommodate women’s privacy and submit an annual report focused on the demographic composition of firehouses around the city (Daily News)
