“Despite 97 percent of New Yorkers telling lawmakers to pass ethics reforms this year, the New York City Assembly Majority refuses to move on a measure that would strip corrupt politicians of their state pensions and retirement benefits. It is beyond unconscionable that Assembly leadership continues to sweep ethics reform under the rug and strong-arm members of their conference into voting against things like term limits and pension forfeiture; two highly popular measures among New Yorkers. Every day that goes by is another day that apathy and resentment grow in the public. I will continue the fight to see that dirty lawmakers don’t leave with golden parachutes.”
