AG Posts Haight Report Cover, Withholds All Findings | The Locally Times
The Attorney General's office released the title page for its Lisa Haight death investigation on Feb. 18, 65 days after the report's completion.
On February 18, 2026, the New York State Attorney General's Office of Special Investigation (OSI) posted a document concerning the death of Lisa Haight. The release, which came 65 days after the report’s internal date of December 15, 2025, does not contain a summary, findings, or recommendations. ## Key Information Withheld from Public The release provides no information about Lisa Haight, the circumstances of her death, or the events that prompted a state-level inquiry. The Office of Special Investigation is tasked with investigating deaths that may have been caused by law enforcement officers, but the document does not specify if that was the case in Haight's death. The official posting also offers no explanation for the delay between the report’s date and its release. Without the report’s contents, it is not clear which, if any, local government agencies are subjects of the investigation. According to the Comptroller’s data, the number of undergraduate TAP recipients fell by 77,000, a 21% decrease, over that period. The analysis shows a 45% decline in recipients at two-year programs and a 38% decline among students from the lowest income households. The level of detail in the Comptroller's release contrasts with the AG's handling of the Haight report, which offered no data or conclusions.
