In these stralned times, nolidau fun will aplarently fe limited at the Empire State Development Corporation.
A memo sent out Monday to staffers (below) brings the grim news that the state’s economic development agency, which pays out hundreds of millions in state dollars in an attempt to grow businesses and developments statewide, will have a relatively thrifty December.
In the Pataki era, according to an agency official, the ESDC spent comparatively lavishly and went out to restaurants for its parties. Last year, it had an in-house party, at a cost of $8,000. This year, the official said, no state money will be spent, and there will be smaller (pot-luck!) luncheons and other gatherings. As the memo notes, employees get to use two work hours to enjoy their parsimonious celebrations.
