The Legislative Ethics Commission released a report today finding reasonable cause that Assemblyman William Boyland, D-Brooklyn, received a lucrative no-show “consultant” job at Brookdale Hospital, according to a reasonable cause report released today.

In the report, the commission found that Boyland “impaired his independence of judgment in the performance of his official duties” by accepting the consulting job and that the lawmaker violated the public officers law.

Boyland was indicted in March for a widespread bribery scheme that also included indictments for Sen. Carl Kruger and lobbyist Richard Lipsky. Both Boyland and Kruger are yet to resign their posts.

Kruger, a Brooklyn Democrat, was accused of accepting cash in exchange for ushering through hospital contracts.
