Shelly’s Silver Bracelets

Assemblyman Dave McDonough (R,C,I-Merrick) issues a statement on Sheldon Silver sentencing

“After years of stealing from taxpayers and living a life of crime, Sheldon Silver will finally be doing something productive for New Yorkers; stamping license plates. Justice has prevailed and I am pleased to see that Silver is finally facing the consequences of his actions.

“The most egregious result of today is not Silver going to prison, but that he will still receive a near six figure taxpayer-funded pension. It is time to once and for all restore faith in Albany and finally pass term limits for legislative leaders and pension forfeiture, which I have championed for years.”
