City Talk: NYS Comptroller Thomas P. DiNapoli - Part 1/2

In the best of times - the responsibility of the New York State comptroller is awesome - the management of $150 billion in State pension funds; the auditing of spending of all state agencies and local governments; the review of the NYS and NYC budgets; the approval of state contracts - and now - the worry about massive state debt and local fiscal stress. Thomas P. DiNapoli, named NYS Comptroller in 2007 and elected in 2010 talks with Doug Muzzio about the state of the state address, the debt threat and plans to freeze investments to companies whose "...primary line of work is gun manufacture."
