A Dubious Record Is Set

With the resignation last week of Assemblywoman Gabriela Rosa after it was revealed she was in a “sham” marriage, she became the sixth state lawmaker to leave office during the 2013-14 legislative term in office — a record high since the 1999-2000 class.

That’s according to a report compiled by Citizens Union, which found 26 lawmakers since the turn of the last century have left office under an ethical or legal cloud of misconduct, due to a range of wrongdoing including sexual harassment, bribery and misdirected member items.

Many of those lawmakers — such as Assemblyman William Boyland — were automatically forced out of office when they were convicted of felony charges.

1. OK. This isn't a problem. I know , because Gov. Cuomo SAYS it isn't a problem.

That's how I know.

That's why we don't need a Moreland Commission to investigate corruption in Albany.

Speaking of which.... why the silence from the other two highest elected DEMs in NYS: Schumer and Gillibrand? Shouldn't they be exercising their roles as party elders? Setting an example?

Is it because "people who live in in glass houses..." ?

I'm still not clear what Schumer's brother's connection was/is to the Comcast merger?

Where'd that go?

Perhaps the two of them should call a joint press conference to 'splain.

No need to have that commission.
