From the NY Times:Joseph L. Bruno, the former State Senate majority leader, was indicted on Friday on charges that he reaped millions of dollars from companies seeking business from the state or from labor unions, capping a long-running investigation into one of New York’s most powerful political figures.
Federal prosecutors scheduled a press conference for 2:30 p.m. in Albany to announce the eight-count indictment, which is expected to charge Mr. Bruno under an anti-corruption law making it a crime to deprive citizens of honest services from their elected officials. Mr. Bruno is accused of collecting more than $3 million over a 13-year period, beginning in 1993, from a handful of businessmen seeking state contracts and grants, as well as contracts to manage pension fund investments for at least 16 labor unions.
It's "a crime to deprive citizens of honest services from their elected officials"?
Sounds like we need to build bigger jails...

Now we know why Spitzer really left office.
Interestingly enough, he has been a Gillibrand ally.

WHAT ABOUT MONSTER-RAT
I and and many New Yorkers remember this crud's attempt at abolishing rent stabilization in 1997.
I saw three old people in my building and one in a local restaurant in tears over the prospect of losing their homes, just so this ideological degenerate could pay of the republican's debt to the landlord lobby....I hope he spends the rest of his life miserable in some dank prison cell far from his "historic" barn and horses.If I believed in Hell I'd be wishing him there.
"Honest services"? Bruno just championed George Washington Plunkitt's "honest graft".
He'd be a hero if he did end rent stabilization!

What you're saying about Monserrate as a person is absolutely right, but nobody's forgotten a thing.
You don't need to lump him in with Bruno. They're both sleazy.
Looks like Spitzer got him in the end. Talk about a slow bullet...
I hope that low life, anti rent control Joe Bruno winds up in a very well controlled environment...
like a state penitentiary!
That coo-kootz has been on the loose for too long!
