“I am deeply distressed over the allegations leveled at Eric Schneiderman.” DiPietro said. “Time and time again we have high-ranking officials, close to the governor, being accused of ethical violations and questionable morals.

“We have yet another example that’s highlighting the tepid air of corruption and mistreatment that so permeates the halls of the Capitol. It’s far past time that we open our eyes and get these people out of our state government. I echo my call for reform yet again in light of these allegations, it is my hope our next attorney general actually represents the values of New York.”
