With the news of Percoco’s conviction on three felony charges, I’m urging the Legislature to come together and work toward legislation to clean up government and restore faith in Albany. In the coming weeks we’ll work to enact the 2018-19 budget, and without instant action to tackle serious ethics reform, corruption will likely continue running rampant in Albany.”
