The state's inspector general has concluded that a rep from the governor's office exerted improper influence over the state liquor board's vote on renewing the liquor license for the scandalized Cipriani Family. The report concerning Khari Edwards that the deputy of a former Paterson aide "finds that Edwards is ill-suited to serve as a representative of the governor's office, and recommends that his employment be terminated." Carl Andrews, the aide who Edwards served under, resigned abruptly in December. Edwards is accused of placing a call during the commission's meeting in August which led SLA Commissioner Jeanique Greene to say that she was "furious to have received such a call and, once she learned the call related to the Ciprianis, she knew it was inappropriate." The Cipriani vote ended up split on party lines with the two SLA members appointed by Democrats voting for renewal and SLA Chairman Daniel Boyle, a Pataki appointee, voting against. Boyle also has claimed that the Paterson aide who has since resigned, Carl Anderson, tried to intimidate him into a yes vote, but the inspector general was able to conclusively confirm that claim.
