The Associated Press, via the New York Post, reports that the legislative committee charged with recommending whether Governor Rowland should face impeachment issued its first subpoenas today:
Four subpoenas were issued to the governor, his wife, the governor's office and the state Ethics Commission, said state Rep. John Wayne Fox, co-chair of the committee. An additional 40 to 50 were expected, although names of those being subpoenaed were not immediately released.The subpoenas seek records dating back to 1995, including checkbooks, receipts, bills, tax returns and expenses the governor has incurred for his summer cottage.
The inquiry committee was established last month after the Rowland admitted lying about accepting gifts for the cottage from friends, politically appointed employees and a state contractor.
Rowland is also the subject of a federal corruption investigation.
