NYDN:
ALBANY — A state lawmaker from Queens was charged in a double shot of indictments Wednesday with ripping off taxpayers and donors — another blow to a Legislature battered by scandal.
Assemblyman William Scarborough was slammed with 11 federal charges that he cheated the state by submitting 174 vouchers for at least $40,000 in bogus travel and lodging expenses from 2009 through 2012.
Earlier in the day, the 68-year-old Democrat was hauled into state court — in shackles and a suit — to face 23 state charges that he used more than $38,000 in campaign funds for personal benefit.
Scarborough, an assemblyman since 1995, pleaded not guilty in separate arraignments in Albany.
