“Today’s conviction of Assembly Member Eric Stevenson closes an unfortunate chapter in our borough’s history.
“As
I have made crystal clear in the past, our borough and our city require
and deserve honest, corruption free government. The public must have
faith in its elected leaders, and the deplorable actions of Assembly
Member Stevenson should not cast a bad light on all elected officials,
most of whom work hard to deliver for their communities and solve the
issues that face our neighborhoods. I will continue to work with my
colleagues, the people of the 79th Assembly District and the
people of the Bronx to restore the public’s faith in government,” said
Bronx Borough President Ruben Diaz Jr.
