It appears no one in Albany is immune to allegations of wrongdoing. Even showing up for lunch at a colleague’s house can now lead to questions about a lawmaker’s integrity.

Earlier this month, Bronx State Senator Ruth Hassell-Thompson, who now represents Norwood and Bedford Park, found herself on the defensive when prosecutors revealed that she had been recorded by federal authorities while speaking to former State Senator Shirley Huntley at her home in Queens.

Huntley was recently sentenced to a year in jail after pleading guilty to embezzlement and bribery charges. A year ago, federal authorities approached her about the charges and asked her to cooperate by recording conversations with fellow lawmakers. Without being specific, prosecutors said the recordings of one senator and two other elected officials “did yield evidence useful to law enforcement authorities.”

Then, prosecutors released the names of all seven elected officials that Huntley recorded and Hassell-Thompson was among them.

Although she admitted to meeting with Huntley, Hassell-Thompson immediately denied any wrongdoing in a statement.

“We met and spoke, in general, about matters including our health and our families,” she said. “At no time, past or present, did we discuss anything inappropriate, improper or illegal.”

Hassell-Thompson is not the only one feeling the heat of association.

Former west Bronx assemblyman Nelson Castro, whose recorded conversations with Bronx Assemblyman Eric Stevenson led to Stevenson’s indictment on bribery charges, said he had been secretly recording conversations with colleagues ever since he became an elected official in 2009.
