Tenney Votes For Preet Bharara For Assembly Speaker

One local Assembly member didn't vote for Carl Heastie as the new Assembly Speaker.

Assemblywoman Claudia Tenny, along with Assemblyman Steve McLaughlin of Troy, cast their votes for Preet Bharara.

Tenney says the US Attorney for the Southern District of New York is rooting out corruption and his indictment of Sheldon Silver is just the tip of the iceberg.

She says Bharara would be an excellent choice to lead the Assembly in its most important endeavor -- restoring the public's trust in their elected representatives.
