Disgraced former state Comptroller Alan Hevesi will be paroled later this year, according to state correction officials.
Hevesi made his second annual bid for release at a parole board hearing yesterday at the Mid-State Correctional Facility in Oneida County. The parole board decided that Havesi was not a danger to the community and thus would be released on parole by December 19th.
Hevesi, 72, has been behind bars since April 2011, when he was sentenced in Manhattan to one to four years in prison after being prosecuted by the state attorney general for his leading role in the “Pay to Play” pension scandal.
His previous release bid, in December, was shot down in a 2-1 vote.
