The Moreland Commission

The Moreland Commission was a state-led initiative in New York created in 2013 to investigate and address corruption and misconduct among public officials and entities. Its goal was to promote integrity in government by examining laws, practices, and potential violations. The commission had investigatory powers and aimed to strengthen accountability, transparency, and ethical conduct in state and local government operations. However, its work was controversial, and it was ultimately disbanded in 2014 amid political disagreements, raising questions about its scope and effectiveness in combating corruption.
