    Statement From Senate Democratic Leader Andrea Stewart-Cousins


    Today is a sad day for the people of New York. We need fundamental change in Albany to clean
    up state government and return the peoples trust. The Senate Democrats have been the
    consistent voices for reform and have called for a full-time Legislature and restricting legislators
    outside income; closing the LLC loophole; prohibiting taxpayer reimbursement of campaign and
    legal defense funds and stripping pensions from public officials convicted of corruption among
    other things. We stand ready to return to Albany and pass a meaningful and strong ethics
    package, and we will work with any elected official serious about reforming state government.
    The people of New York deserve real reforms to how Albany operates.
