“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.

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.”
