Former State Assemblyman Dennis Gabryszak Fined $100,000 by Ethics Commission

February 16, 2016 | IN THE NEWS | Share

Former State Assemblyman Dennis Gabryszak has been fined $100,000 by the State Ethics Commission for violating state ethics laws. I spoke to WGRZ about this issue in December when a report was released about Gabryszak’s ethics violations, which included allegedly harassing female staffers and using state resources to fund his reelection campaign. See my followup discussion with WGRZ here to discuss the case’s new developments. Click the image above to see the full story or click here to read more.
