Members of the New York State Senate and Assembly have until Friday to make disclosures about their financial relationships with sources outside of the government.
The Moreland Commission, appointed by Governor Andrew Cuomo, negotiated a week-long extension with lawyers for state legislators to disclose income that they receive from the private sector.
In addition, lawmakers who are attorneys are being asked to disclose civil or criminal clients they represent.
