Expenditure Report New York State Senate EXPENDITURE REPORT April 1 - September 30, 2008 Angelo J. Aponte Secretary of the Senate January 2009 This accounting details how the Senate spent funds during the period covering April 1 - September 30, 2008. The Senate will be issuing similar reports on a semi-annual basis, with the next report covering October 1, 2008 - March 31, 2009. Making this Expenditure Report publicly available is a milestone in terms of informing the public of how the Senate, composed of Senators elected from the 62 Senatorial Districts, spends funds appropriated for its operation. This report details total salary payments for Senators and staff and lists every voucher submitted to the State Comptroller's Office for payment of travel and general expenditures. This report goes even further than the listing of salaries and vouchers; it also breaks down some of the larger non-personal service expenditures into what we are calling "allocated expenditures". These allocated expenditures show how such large, lump sum payments as postage, supplies, and long-distance telephone charges are in turn spent by Senator's and staff offices. Hopefully you will find the Senate Expenditure Report to be a useful document. Your comments and suggestions would be welcomed, and should be addressed to the Secretary of the Senate’s office. Very truly yours, Angelo J. Aponte, Secretary of the Senate TABLE OF CONTENTS INTRODUCTION................................................... v SENATE MEMBERS SENATOR ERIC L.

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.

  • (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.

  • Bharara Moreland Commission Testimony
    Public Hearing of the Moreland Commission to Investigate Public Corruption Prepared Testimony of U.S. Attorney Preet Bharara September 17, 2013 Chairmen Fitzpatrick, Rice, and Williams; distinguished members of the Moreland Commission; U.S. Attorney Lynch; District Attorney Vance; and members of the public, it is a privilege to be here today. I have never testified in a forum like this before, but when the Commission reached out to me, I leapt at the chance because you are engaged in an effort that is dear to my heart not just as a prosecutor but as a New Yorker. As I have made clear to the Commission, I pledge the cooperation and assistance of my office with the Commission’s vitally important work. Fighting public corruption has been a top priority for my office for a long while, as it has been for my friends Loretta Lynch and Cy Vance. The diversity of the officials caught up in our probes reflects not only the level of our commitment but also the depth of the problem in our state. Public corruption, based on all the evidence, appears rampant. And the ranks of those convicted in office have swelled to absolutely unacceptable levels. We have had to prosecute State Senators as well as State Assemblymen; elected officials as well as party leaders; city council members as well as town mayors; Democrats as well as Republicans. In an age often decried for increasingly bitter partisanship, we can say that public corruption in New York is truly a bipartisan affair. Sometimes we have used exclusively federal statutes, but often we have relied on the Travel Act, which requires us to prove a violation of existing state law as a predicate.

  • Kruger Carl and Michael Turano Plea
    UNITED STATES ATTORNEY’S OFFICE Southern District of New York U.S. ATTORNEY PREET BHARARA FOR IMMEDIATE RELEASE CONTACT: Ellen Davis, Carly Sullivan, Tuesday, December 20, 2011 Jerika Richardson http://www.justice.gov/usao/nys (212) 637-2600 MANHATTAN U.S. ATTORNEY ANNOUNCES GUILTY PLEA OF NEW YORK STATE SENATOR CARL KRUGER IN BRIBERY SCHEMES INVOLVING NEARLY HALF A MILLION DOLLARS Co-Defendant Michael Turano Also Pleads Guilty Preet Bharara, the United States Attorney for the Southern District of New York, announced that New York State Senator CARL KRUGER pled guilty today to participating in bribery schemes in which he accepted nearly half a million dollars in exchange for taking official actions. As part of the schemes, the corrupt payments intended for KRUGER were directed to bank accounts controlled by MICHAEL TURANO, a Manhattan-based gynecologist, who also pled guilty today in connection with the schemes. KRUGER and TURANO each pled guilty before U.S. District Judge Jed S. Rakoff. Manhattan U.S. Attorney Preet Bharara stated: “As Chairman of the Senate Finance Committee, Carl Kruger stood near the apex of political power in New York State. With Senator Kruger’s guilty plea today, yet another lawmaker-turned-lawbreaker has now been removed from an undeserved position of power in Albany. Instead of serving the people who elected him, Senator Kruger monetized his public office and served himself. The people of New York expect, deserve and demand honesty and integrity from their public servants. We will not pause in our fight to hold New York’s representatives accountable for violating the public’s trust, no matter how difficult the challenges presented.” As alleged in the Indictment and in the Complaint previously filed in Manhattan federal court: KRUGER has served as a member of the New York State Senate since 1994, representing Bergen Beach, Flatlands, Mill Basin and other Brooklyn communities in the 27th Senate District.
