 Another reason to support David.
I'll let his statement do the talking:
I applaud the New York State Democratic Party for taking measures to remove Senator Pedro Espada from its ranks. The details of Attorney General Andrew Cuomo's investigation and his subsiquent filing of a civil suit claiming that Espada and his company, Soundview Healthcare Network, set up a scam to defraud unemployed workers, is exactly the kind of corrupt behavior we need to root out and end in Albany.
I understand that a court of law hasn't heard the case or rendered judgement and that, sadly, will mean that Senator Espada can keep his position in the legislature. But his behavior in this matter, combined with his proven violations of election law filing proceedures, have obviously led the Democratic Party of New York to reach its decision. I support the Party's decision and as Senator, I will work from the moment I'm sworn in, to change the way the legislature does business; from ethics/disclosure reform to campaign finance reform to redistricting reform. There is no room for unethical behavior on the part of our elected officials from any political party, and I will do everything I can to return the trust of the people to it's governmental institutions. |
