Senator Craig M. Johnson Announces Taxpayer Payer Abuse Assessment Legislation

Senator Craig M. Johnson, (D-Nassau), announces legislation, (S.6823A/A9960A), to end the double victimization caused by public pension system members who use their positions to steal taxpayer money, yet are still able to collect their taxpayer-funded pensions.

The measure, which is sponsored in the Assembly by Assemblyman Charles Lavine, will create a new taxpayer abuse assessment to be levied against members of the public pension system who have been convicted of using their position unlawfully enrich themselves at the taxpayer's expense.

The assessment would be equal to the amount of the convicted person's pension and be applied to each taxable year.
