It also covers the expenses of the Joint Entities for which the Senate handles administrative processing under agreement with the Assembly (Legislative Ethics Committee, Legislative Health Service, Legislative Library, Legislative Messenger Service, and the annual dues payments for membership in the National Conference of State Legislatures). The underlying financial information used to compile this report comes from disbursement data of the New York State Office of the State Comptroller (OSC) as reported by the Senate on State-mandated vouchers and payroll forms. These vouchers and payroll forms are audited by OSC before payment. The New York State Senate Expenditure Report shows the detailed expense data for each office presented in a format which allows the reader to clearly see the

  • (Jsr) David Rosen, Findings O
    UNITED STATES DISTRICT COURT SOUTHERN DISTRICT OF NEW YORK x UNITED STATES OF AMERICA -v- 11 Cr. 300 (JSR) DAVID ROSEN, FINDINGS OF FACT AND CONCLUSIONS OF LAW Defendant. x JED S. RAKOFF, U.S.D.J. This is a sad, even tragic case, as it reveals how a widely-admired hospital administrator who diligently sought to better the health care of impoverished communities nonetheless chose to entangle himself in the bribing of state legislators. Defendant David Rosen stands charged with engaging in a corrupt scheme to bribe three New York legislators - former New York State Assemblyman Anthony Seminerio, New York State Assemblyman William Boyland, Jr., and New York State Senator Carl Kruger - in order to benefit the MediSys Health Network ("MediSys") , of which Rosen was the Chief Executive Officer for over three decades. Specifically, the Superseding Indictment ("Indictment") charges Rosen with funneling nearly $600,000 of MediSys' funds into Seminerio and Boyland, Jr.'s pockets by means of sham consulting contracts, and directing lucrative MediSys contracts to entities in which Seminerio and Kruger had a financial interest. In exchange for these bribes, according to the Indictment, Seminerio, Boyland, Jr., and Kruger each agreed to exploit their positions as elected state legislators to take official acts benefitting Medisys as specific opportunities to do so arose. The matter was tried before this Court a few weeks ago. Having now carefully reviewed all of the evidence, including the in-court testimony of twenty-nine witnesses and the several hundred exhibits that were received in evidence at trial, the Court hereby concludes, based on the findings of fact and conclusions of law set forth below, that David Rosen is guilty beyond a reasonable doubt of all remaining Counts of the Indictment of which he is charged.

  • Legislative Turnover Due to Ethical/Criminal Issues
    CITIZENS UNION OF THE CITY OF NEW YORK TURNOVER IN THE NYS LEGISLATURE DUE TO ETHICAL OR CRIMINAL ISSUES, 1999 to 2015 May 4, 2015 Citizens Union in 2009 and 2011 released groundbreaking reports on turnover in the state legislature, finding that legislators are more likely to leave office due to ethical or criminal issues than to die in office, or be redistricted out of their seats.i Given corruption scandals continually breaking in Albany, Citizens Union provides on the following pages an updated list of all legislators who have left to date due to ethical or criminal misconduct. Since 2000, 28 state legislators have left office due to criminal or ethical issues and 5 more have been indicted, for a total of 33 legislators who have abused the public trust since 2000. Most recently in May 2015, Senate Majority Leader Dean Skelos was charged with six federal counts of conspiracy, extortion, wire fraud and soliciting bribes, related to improper use of his public office in exchange for payments of $220,000 made to his son. His arrest comes less than five months after Assembly Speaker Sheldon Silver’s indictment. The five legislators currently who have been charged with misconduct are: Senate Majority Leader Dean Skelos, Senator Tom Libous, Senator John Sampson, Assembly Speaker Sheldon Silver and Assemblymember William Scarborough. In the 2013-2014 session alone, 8 legislators left office. Four legislators resigned in 2014: Assemblymembers Gabriela Rosa, William Boyland Jr., Dennis Gabryszak and Eric Stevenson. Two more left during the election season in 2014: Senator Malcolm Smith lost the Primary Election in 2014 and later was convicted of corruption, and Assemblymember Micah Kellner did not seeking re-election due to a sexual harassment scandal.
