Hawkins Says it is time to Clean House in Albany; Corruption is endemic among Democrats and Republicans
Howie Hawkins, the Green Party candidate for Governor, said that the Inspector General’s (IG) shocking report on the rigged bidding process for choosing a video lottery terminal operator at the Aqueduct race course shows the rampant corruption in the state government in general and in the Democratic Party in particular.
“It’s time to throw da bums out and get some new parties in there. The Democrats and Republicans compete to sell themselves to the highest bidder,mainly with campaigncontributions butsometimes with outright kickbacks. They treat the state treasury as their personal piggy banks .They refuse to pass any meaningful campaign finance reform or ethics legislation. They always promise to clean it up once elected but they never do. Both parties are rotten to the core,” stated Hawkins.
