The Management Advisory Board was created pursuant to the New York State Public Authorities Law and requires that all members have substantial experience in the management of private enterprise, in the delivery of public services, or in labor or labor-management relations.Carrie’s appointment follows her retention by the MTA as special counsel to investigate and report on issues related to overtime and time and attendance after fiscal watchdog group the Empire Center shared data showing a 16 percent rise in overtime payments the previous year. Carrie led the firm’s investigation and presented the firm’s report of its findings and recommendations to the MTA Board of Directors, which included <a href="/resources/news/211130-mta-watchdog-warns-overtime-reforms.html">19 recommendations to curb overtime fraud</a>, including installing biometric time clocks across the entire MTA as well as standardizing overtime approval procedures.A former federal and state prosecutor, Carrie routinely advises and represents corporations, boards, and c-suite executives in sensitive government-facing investigative and regulatory matters.
