A company established by Joseph Brady, who led an upstate biker gang while serving as a top legislative aide to a Brooklyn state lawmaker, received nearly $200,000 in state government payments in the years before his 2020 arrest for sex abuse charges, according to reimbursement records obtained by THE CITY.
The state comptroller’s office is investigating those payments, most of which went to Excelsior Waste and Recycling LLC, a Rensselaer-based firm that Brady filed incorporation paperwork for less than three weeks before the government payouts began.
