A Labor Day Message from Comptroller DiNapoli
Returning Lost Money at the New York State Fair
A highlight of Comptroller DiNapoli’s visit to The Great New York State Fair was helping residents reconnect with unclaimed funds, including nearly $40,000 to non-profit organizations that will help support their important efforts.
