A Long Island lawyer targeted in a pension system abuse probe by the state comptroller’s office has agreed to pay more than $240,000 to settle the case, Attorney General Andrew Cuomo said yesterday in a statement. Lawrence W. Reich, formerly with Ingerman Smith in Hauppauge, was on the payroll of six different school districts from 1978 until 2006, “at times simultaneously,” but should have been treated as an independent contractor instead of an employee.
