Albany ‘Crime Wave’ Seen After Charges Against Assemblywoman

    The indictment of a Brooklyn assemblywoman, Diane Gordon, on bribery charges yesterday makes her the seventh member of the 80-person New York City delegation in Albany to face charges from prosecutors in the past three years.

    It’s prompting some watchdogs to call for more policing of state lawmakers, who appear more likely than members of the general population to be criminals — or at least to be caught.

    “There is a crime wave,” the director of New York Civic, Henry Stern, said. “The answer is stricter supervision and enforcement and stricter penalties.”

    “This has people shaking their head about Albany and the apparent lack of real ethics guidelines,” the legislative director of the New York Public Interest Research Group, Blair Horner, said. “People behave differently when they think no one cares and no one is watching.”

    In the case announced yesterday, prosecutors say the legislator, a Democrat who represents East New York, conspired to give a developer a city-owned lot in return for a $500,000 home.

    Much more….

Talk about a culture of corruption.
This article alond with many I have posted must give you pause… what in the world is going on in that closed world of corruption called Albany.

The more reporters dig the more we can find out. It is truly incredible that these politicians even try to get away with this stuff, have they no morals, no sense of personal responsibility, I guess not. No wonder why they make it so hard to discover what they do, where they spend our money and pass legislation that is nearly impossible to find.

It is time for a real shakeup and turnover in Albany and the Time is Now!
