Statement from New York State Senator Rich Funke

“I’m proud to have cosponsored and cast my vote for a historic amendment that would strip corrupt politicians of their taxpayer funded pensions once and for all. Now our legislation will be put on the ballot for voters to approve on Election Day. If those who voiced outrage to me that corrupt politicians can get a state pension while serving a prison sentence are any indication, I have no doubt this will be the law of the land soon.”
