“It may come as a shock to Sheldon Silver, but you don’t receive travel expenses when going from the yard to your six-by-eight cell. Although justice has been served in the form of a prison sentence, Silver will still be receiving his taxpayer-funded, six figure pension while behind bars. This is a pitiful reflection on New York City Political leadership, who have repeatedly ignored ethics reform. It also sends the message to other political elites that you can steal from the public and still escape in a golden parachute. Today we close the door on Sheldon Silver’s reign, but Albany’s revolving door of corruption still remains intact.”
