Fired Power Authority Inspector accused of destroying emails demanding emails of dismissal.


ALBANY - Fired Power Authority Inspector General Daniel Wiese, suspected of destroying e-mail and other records relating to the State Police Dirty Tricks Scandal, is himself demanding e-mails and other records documenting his dismissal.

Wiese's lawyer, Kevin Kitson, said yesterday that he had filed Freedom of Information requests for the records in advance of a possible lawsuit against the authority.

"We strongly believe that Dan Wiese was knowingly fired in violation of several of NYPA's own human-resources policies," Kitson said.

"Once NYPA provides us with our requested documentation, we will consider all applicable legal remedies."

An authority spokeswoman had no immediate comment.
