Feds go after convicted former NY Sen. Pedro Espada's full pension

KEN LOVETT

Here is the full second item from my "Albany Insider" column from today's editions:

Disgraced former state Sen. Pedro Espada has now lost his entire pension.

A judge in June ordered that 25% of Espada’s $612 monthly pension be garnished to help collect the $118,981 Espada owes the Internal Revenue Service.

So much for the right wing BS about huge pensions. Obviously if the guy owes money, he should pay.

As for his pension it is not huge at all like you said. I think it is based on how long you are there but I am nit sure.
