ALBANY — A state Assembly committee will convene next week to weigh the impacts of Gov. David Paterson’s proposed staffing cuts at the state Department of Environmental Conservation. In October, Paterson said he would seek to lay off nearly 2,000 state workers before year ’s end in order to reduce a state budg-
et deficit estimated at nearly $10 billion. The lame duck Democratic governor, who will be replaced by Andrew Cuomo in January, pledged that his cuts would be dispersed evenly among all state agencies. But an internal DEC memo, which was leaked to the press and prompted the firing of former DEC Commissioner Pete Grannis, showed that Paterson intends to cut about 200 jobs from DEC — representing about 10 percent of statewide setbacks.
