Here's a statement released today by Assemblyman Steve Hawley:
“In recent months we have watched details surrounding the state’s dysfunctional economic development programs unfold. Today, two individuals with close ties to the governor and his administration have been charged with alleged bid-rigging and bribery. The time for change – dramatic change – is now.
“Every investigation surrounding public officials, now one including Joseph Percoco and Alain Kaloyeros, has highlighted a desperate need for reform. Entrusted with the public’s confidence to effect positive change, I am calling for a comprehensive and meaningful response to these issues.
“I will continue to fight for increased accountability and transparency; the status quo must be changed.”
Wow! What an amazing
Wow! What an amazing enlightening plan offered up by Assemblyman Hawley. Something bad happens, and his response is: "....I am calling for a comprehensive and meaningful response to these issues".
