“With the sentencing of former Speaker Sheldon Silver today, New York State’s Legislature is in the spotlight again for all the wrong reasons. My Assembly Minority colleagues and I have offered rules and ethics reforms numerous times, but the Majority in the Assembly are content keeping the status quo. It is a mockery of the legislative system and the hardworking people of New York deserve to have fair and honest representatives serving them. I will continue to provide solutions to this blatant disregard of public trust and the onus will be on the Assembly Majority to do the right thing and act on these proposals.”
