Same corruption in New York, these pols are criminals.
Former State Assembly Speaker Sheldon Silver will be sentenced in June for his most recent conviction in a corrupt kick-back scheme — despite the disgraced pol’s attempts to delay the hearing.
Manhattan federal court Judge Valerie Caproni set a June 25 sentencing date for Silver, who is facing time for wire fraud, extortion and monetary transactions involving crime proceeds.
The charges stem from Silver supporting a real estate developer’s position on rent regulations in exchange for bribes.

This is what was called ‘honest graft’ circa 1900.
