Good morning on this raindrop-riddled Tuesday.

Yet another New York politician may soon be bunking in a federal prison.

Sheldon Silver, the former State Assembly speaker, will be sentenced at the federal courthouse in Lower Manhattan today.

The Democrat, whose district included the Lower East Side, was convicted of, among other things, abusing his office to obtain nearly $4 million in illegal payments.

“He was one of the most powerful New York politicians to be convicted in a corruption case in recent years,” said Benjamin Weiser, a reporter covering the case for The Times. “And he could receive one of the highest sentences as well.”
