Cuomo pick for top investigator

ALBANY — Gov.-elect Andrew Cuomo is expected to name Ellen Biben, for the past four years his special deputy attorney general for public integrity, as the state’s new corruption-fighting inspector general, The Post learned yesterday.

Biben would replace hard-charging IG Joseph Fisch in the $155,000-a-year position.

Biben, a former deputy chief of the rackets bureau in the Manhattan DA’s Office, has overseen key investigations during Attorney General Cuomo’s four years in office, including the probe of the explosive “pay to play” scandal in the state Comptroller’s Office.
