Opinion
October 1, 1998
Respondent's findings that petitioner wrongfully solicited money from two rabbis for engaging in required official conduct, that petitioner failed to voucher the money thus obtained, and that petitioner had information relative to corruption involving a member of the police force and failed to report it, are supported by substantial evidence and, accordingly, should not be disturbed ( Matter of Berenhaus v. Ward, 70 N.Y.2d 436). The penalty of dismissal is not disproportionate in light of the proven misconduct.
