TROY — Federal and state investigators are examining the circumstances under which a former state assemblyman from Brooklyn, William F. Boyland Sr., was put on the payroll of a sprawling nonprofit organization founded by Albany’s Father Peter Young after Boyland, succeeded by his son, arranged a series of state grants for the organization.
The grants, called member items, totaled at least $1.2 million over four years beginning in 2006.
Details began to emerge Thursday about that and other allegations behind Wednesday’s raid of the offices of the Altamont Program, the parent organization for Father Young’s network of services. The wide-ranging investigation became public when the state attorney general’s office and FBI used search warrants to seize records from three Capital Region offices used the Albany-based organization, which runs more than 100 facilities for homeless, former convicts and people with addiction problems.
