Here is Assemblyman Karim Camara of Brooklyn saying the City Council’s slush fund scandal should prompt state lawmakers to review their own use of member items.
“What I’m saying is that this is not just a City Council issue. We have to look in state government, State Assembly, and State Senate and say that individuals have too much power in how money is spent.”
Camara, a recently elected member from a high-needs district, says that discretionary funds, like member items, should be doled out based on need and not on seniority.
