Sen. Bruno’s 2 cents on Troopergate

“The report issued today does little to lift the cloud over the Capitol in regard to the conduct of the Governor’s administration. We now have a report issued by the Attorney General that raised serious concerns about the abuse of government power and recommended disciplinary actions against the Governor’s aides, and a second report by the Albany County District Attorney that came to a different conclusion. However, the District Attorney did not put anyone under oath, nor did he pursue private emails that could shed more light on the scandal.
“There is still an ongoing investigation that will move forward under John Feerick and the Commission on Public Integrity, and the Senate Investigations Committee will continue its discussions of a legislative response to prevent these type of abuses of government power from happening again. The people of this State are demanding the truth, they want people to testify under oath and until that happens, there will continue to be a cloud over this administration.
“In the meantime, the Senate is going to move forward and govern. We are holding roundtables on strengthening the Upstate economy; we will hold hearings on some of the Governor’s nominees; including nominees for SUNY and the MTA; we will review and discuss the Governor’s recommendations for the racing industry; and we will continue to press the Governor and Assembly to agree to important capital investments to create jobs and to give more property tax relief to senior citizens.”
