Jan. 23 (Bloomberg) -- Joseph Bruno, the former leader of the New York State Senate, was indicted on federal corruption charges.

Bruno, a Republican who retired last year after almost 32 years as a state lawmaker representing Rensselaer and Saratoga counties, failed to disclose he was paid more than $2 million to solicit union pension funds on behalf of two brokers, according to an eight-count indictment unsealed in Albany. He is also accused of lobbying for three individuals pursuing state business, receiving $1.2 million.

The indictment said Bruno exploited “his official position for personal compensation and enrichment, knowing and believing that his reasonably perceived ability to influence official action would, at least in part, motivate those he contacted to enter into financial relationships beneficial to his personal financial interests.”

:rolleyes: Boy, am I shocked by this revelation. Good riddance to yet another piece of garbage in our state.

Amen, another crooked piece of crap. Hope he finds a nice jail cell real soon.

Those that are corrupt must be pursued and placed behind bars . Good work, again, for our heroes in law enforcement .
