POLITICAL CORRUPTION: Albany leaders see no need to act
Story updated with more information
ALBANY — Even as the names of more lawmakers surface in a growing federal corruption probe and New Yorkers grow angrier, Gov. Andrew Cuomo said Wednesday that there’s no significant progress in Albany toward enacting tougher anti-corruption measures.
Some legislators, he said, see no need to act. A few, he said, don’t want tougher laws. If they don’t act by the June 20 end of the session, Cuomo said one of his options is order a commission to investigate corruption in state government.
