New Yorkers united on demand for ethics reform
ALBANY – New Yorkers are almost unanimous when it comes to the need for ethics reform in the state capital.
With just a few weeks left of the 2016 legislative session, a new Siena Poll released Tuesday shows that an overwhelming 91 percent of voters in the state say that passing anti-corruption legislation is important – 81 percent of whom say it’s very important – yet, 67 percent are somewhat or very pessimistic it will get done before the session ends.
The poll additionally shows that 40 percent believe that corruption is a serious problem in the legislature, and 31 percent say it’s more serious in the executive branch controlled by Governor Andrew Cuomo.
