Lawmakers push pension cuts for corrupt officials in New York
A bipartisan measure to strip pensions from corrupt public officials clears both houses and will appear on the November ballot. The Senate 57 to 4 and Assembly 147 to 0 votes back the constitutional amendment to empower courts to revoke or reduce pensions for officials convicted of abusing their office. Assemblyman Oaks calls it a step toward stronger anti corruption protections. Barclay says the proposal targets corruption and bribery tied to public service, hoping to deter future misconduct.
