Stec: Lt. Governor's Arrest Yet Another Sign of Culture of Corruption in Albany

“Governor Kathy Hochul could have selected ANYONE as her running mate. Instead, she stood by and recently reaffirmed her support for a Lieutenant Governor that’s now been indicted on federal bribery charges and soliciting campaign donations in exchange for state grants. This is yet another sign of the Governor’s suspect judgment and the culture of corruption surrounding Albany Democrats. New Yorkers deserve better than this endless cycle of indictments, investigations and corruption scandals.”
