“For years, my colleagues and I have pushed for ethics reform to bring more transparency to our government. We need to continue to hold not only dishonest people accountable, but also programs like the economic development programs which have given rise to this type of corruption. I am glad Mr. Percoco was held accountable for his actions, but I would be even happier if his actions didn’t occur in the first place. We’ll unfortunately continue to see this type of behavior until the Assembly Majority finally get serious about ethics reform and join us to change the culture of corruption in Albany.”
