Spitzer's Law
By Kristin Davis

Today, I held an in-promptu press conference in front of Eliot Spitzer's apartment building to propose a much needed piece of political reform. Here is the speech and proposal for Spitzer's Law.

Former Governor Eliot Spitzer lives in this apartment building which he went went back to when I was sent to Riker's Island.

Although he resigned in disgrace for betraying the public trust and breaking the law, the taxpayers will still fund his $25,000 a year pension. Alan Hevesi, former State comptroller- resigned to take a plea for corruption-yet taxpayers fund his $166,000 pension.  Hiram Montseratte- $80,000, Senator Joe Bruno- $96,000, State police Superintendent Harry Corbitt- $84,000. This is how the "political class" covers itself.

It's a disgrace.

I favor repeal of all Pensions for public officials who are forced to resign. I favor elimination of all pensions for state legislators.

Our legislature is part time service in Albany and should be an honor and a duty not a job for life.  We simply cant afford rich health care and pension benefits for State legislators who already get automatic pay raises without having to vote for them.

I call on former Governor Spitzer to set an example today to voluntarily return his pension money to the state when he is eligible to collect in five years.
