A state monitor with powers to override board decisions will soon be hired to watch over the Orange County Industrial Development Agency (OCIDA).

Proposed by New York state Sen. James Skoufis, the measure to install a monitor is in the $229 billion state budget passed by the Legislature on May 2, nearly a month after the due date.
