A union representing state employees said New York is wasting taxpayer dollars. The Public Employees Federation said the state is hiring private consultants when it should be using state workers.
Using data from the state Comptroller's Office, PEF did a study which said New York State could save $700 million if it stopped hiring consultants and used state workers to do the same jobs.
