Free ride: State gas, tolls, cars

New report finds prison officials ignored Paterson 2009 directive
 The report also found instances in which prison officials used state cars to pick up their children after school. One took his vehicle to a boat museum and to the Clayton Town Hall, where he held a second position as supervisor.
A 2009 crackdown on the use of state vehicles, gas and E-ZPass transponders for personal use was all but ignored by top prison officials, according to a report released Friday by state Inspector General Catherine Leahy Scott. [Times Union.com]

From the J. Lee report, it was Taylor's conduct that started the investigation. Did Taylor claim it as a benefit on his IRS. The free use of the car is one hell of a big benefit at 83 plus miles a day.

This is a state wide story.
What extras does he get from Clayton? Did he get any perks from Iberdrola?
