Dan Freedman is reporting for the Times Union Freshman U.S. Rep. Antonio Delgado's concerns about financially burdensome student loans appears to be based on personal experience. The Rhinebeck Democrat's first congressionally mandated financial disclosure form shows he has a student debt ranging between $50,001 and $100,000. The disclosure was released June 14, along with those of his 434 House colleagues. The form requires lawmakers to state their assets, liabilities and income in dollar ranges, not precise numbers. The debt was listed as having been incurred in 2002, the year Delgado entered Harvard. Apart from the debt, the disclosure form shows Delgado and his wife, Lacey Schwartz Delgado, have assets between $263,000 and $745,000 against liabilities ranging between $100,002 and $600,000. U.S. Rep. Paul Tonko submitted a one-page form showing a pension from the New York State Employees Retirement System amounting to $65,901. The Amsterdam Democrat has served almost 25 years in the state Assembly, and turns 70 next week. His only listed asset was an account with SEFCU that ranges between $1,001 and $15,000.
