AUBURN – Assemblyman Gary D. Finch (Assembly District 126) weighed in on the verdict of former Assembly Speaker Sheldon Silver this week, calling on New Yorkers to be sure the verdict marks “the beginning of a new era.”

Every New Yorker has a responsibility to make sure that this is the beginning of a new era and not simply the end of a shameful career.”
