GG Posted January 22, 2015 Posted January 22, 2015 http://news.yahoo.com/york-state-assembly-speaker-arrested-corruption-charges-134332973.html?bcmt=comments-postbox What's not being reported of course is that in his crusade to weed out corruption and work for the little guy, the sex-crazed former AG & governor Elliott Spitzer, went after headline grabbing arrests of Wall Street, and did nothing to investigate the NY real estate industry. It really didn't matter how flimsy the Wall Street charges were or the negligible impact on the NYS citizenry, Elliott was standing up to the big boys, and the press sopped it up. Yet, investigating an industry that has a massive connection to the citizenry and the daily shady dealings that go on all the time, especially when it's the root of your family's fortunes? Not a peep. Good riddance to more bad rubbish.
Tiberius Posted January 22, 2015 Posted January 22, 2015 Feds got him! Good. This is why we need the feds to police the states. Wasn't Niagara Falls locked down by organized crime until the Feds busted that up, too?
3rdnlng Posted January 22, 2015 Posted January 22, 2015 It is my observation that Democrat administrations tend to have ties either with organized crime or other corrupt individuals. Is this correlation or causation?
Nanker Posted January 22, 2015 Posted January 22, 2015 And Cuomo still walks the streets. And Silver will as well after all, he's a Dem.
IDBillzFan Posted January 23, 2015 Posted January 23, 2015 This is why we need the feds to police the states. Such a good little nutsucking statist you are. Got a little on the chin there, Skippy, so make sure you wipe when you're done, mmmkay?
Badasss Posted January 25, 2015 Posted January 25, 2015 This has been a great week for WNY. Belichek and Brady are on the hot seat and Sheldon Silver has finally been arrested. Silver's criminal acts and conflicts of interest have been the main catalysts for the implosion of the Upstate economy. With Silver behind bars, hopefully we can finally take our state back. Hopefully, more arrests will occur in the near future (Cuomo, Schneiderman??).
IDBillzFan Posted January 25, 2015 Posted January 25, 2015 With Silver behind bars, hopefully we can finally take our state back. You need to be careful with that phrase. When progressives hear you say something like "take our state back" or "take our country back," they tell everyone what you mean is you want to bring back slavery and kill all the coloreds.

Come the opening of the next NYS legislative session the only thing that Sheldon Silver will be behind is a podium...unfortunately. Too many "friends" in high places. If/when he is ever tried and convicted it's possible some of his enemies will step into the daylight and depose him from the legislature; but until that time his co-thugs will circle the wagons and take names of those who withdraw their support.

You need to be careful when suggesting ridiculous interpretations of a very benign comment. I think we both know that my post had nothing to do with slavery and racial inequities. I'm also quite sure that slavery was never legal in NY State.
Tiberius Posted January 25, 2015 Posted January 25, 2015 I repeat, Cuomo is still free.And still no ones pays attention to you You need to be careful when suggesting ridiculous interpretations of a very benign comment. I think we both know that my post had nothing to do with slavery and racial inequities. I'm also quite sure that slavery was never legal in NY State.Yes, it was banned in 1829 after having been grandfathered out. Alexander Hamilton led the fight against it. Were there slaves in Buffalo? There is some evidence to suggest that. Joseph Ellicott wrote a letter saying he had a slave for sale in western new york, but there were no chain gangs and such that any one knows about.

Nanker Posted January 25, 2015 Posted January 25, 2015 Obama's got a lot of slaves in the state of New York.

Your 'tongue-in-cheek' detector not working today?
Badasss Posted January 26, 2015 Posted January 26, 2015 how do you feel about muslims?Why do you ask? I'm quite sure that neither Bill Belichek nor Sheldon Silver are Muslim.
