Slush Fund Scandals were common place in the Quinn World!
But beware my friends, now Speaker Quinn has figured out a new dastardly Trick by using the City Budget to enhance her political agenda and protect her position as speaker of the City Council pigpen.
It appears that Christine Quinn is attempting to use the City budget for political purposes, first to appease Joe Crowley and keep her job as Speaker and two using the Government funds to get votes for her pet bills.
Just take look right here in the 30th Council District, Quinn is using the budget to re-elect Elizabeth Crowley for City Council. Quinn does not live here nor find our area on a map and she has yet to realize just how inept Elizabeth Crowley is as an elected representative! Crowley bumbles around the community in her Hybrid with the ostentatious NYC 30 plates telling people to be Environmentalist while our economy is in the crapper. People in our community are struggling to make ends meet and Dizzy Lizzy, the protégé of Brian McLaughlin is trying to fine people for idling their car! Maybe these people are rushing into their homes, freshen up and going off to their second jobs.
Ironically, Quinn needs Crowley, not in the biblical sense but the political sense. Why else would the Speaker of the City Council need a Political Disaster like Elizabeth Crowley? The very same Elizabeth Crowley who many say and has been reported was the McLaughlin mistress! Because my friends, Crowley was born into a strong Political Family and Lizzy's dear Cousin Congressman Joe Crowley The Chairman of the powerful Queens Democratic organization gets patronage and help from Quinn in exchange for Joe not opposing her as Speaker.
Quinn has the audacity to call for transparency in government and enacted this onerous vetting system for non-for profit groups yet she has her lover’s relatives on the New York payroll!
We deserve a Government that is fair and equitable. Each Council Member should get the same amount of money for community projects and the Department of Investigations should review the allocations. If Christine Quinn gave funding in the budget to secure votes as a quid pro quo, the Manhattan District Attorney should emerge from his crypt and convene a Grand Jury immediately and put Council Members under Oath just like the Feds are doing now!

I think Quinn is shady, but your posting is really hard to follow.
What $ is Quinn using to secure a quid pro quo?
Who are these relatives of Quinn's lover on the city payroll?
Could you tell us why
ogni-has-been is not a judge?
YES, I'LL TELL YOU WHY HE'S NOT A JUDGE. BOTH OGNIBENE AND DENNIS GALLAGHER WERE CAUGHT ON WIRETAPS GETTING PAID OFF WITH GIFTS IN A CROOKED BUILDING SCAM. BOTH SHOULD HAVE BEEN INDICTED. SO OGNIBENE COULD NOT BE MADE A JUDGE AND GALLAGHER WENT ON TO BIGGER AND BETTER THINGS LIKE SEXUALLY ASSAULTING GRANDMOTHERS.
That's right....if memory serves me correctly, i think Mr. Ogni-has-been was mentioned in an indictment.
I am right?
Hey Lizzy, don't even think about using your people to Blog here and knock a fine man like Tom Ognibene...people will know you started politics waiting hands and knees with Brian McLaughlin
Hey Dennis....you and Mr. Ogni-has-been are going to be in for a tuff time. You r both history. The community has turned the page on you crooks. Take Ogni-has-been and move outta here.
Mr. Ognibene, who has not been charged, said in April that he expected to leave his Council post this month for a judgeship on the State Court of Claims. But the authorities in Manhattan recently advised the governor's office about developments in the case, making it unlikely that Mr. Ognibene would be appointed while he was still under investigation, according to law enforcement and political sources.
Patrick Henry sazs:
Tom Ognibene was the former councilman for the 30th council district. Although he served his community well there are some concerns regarding some serious entanglements. In 2001, Ognibene was under investigation for his relationship with buildings consultant, Ronald Lattanzio. It was reported in the NY Times: Councilman's Actions Factor in Inquiry that in exchange for Ognibene’s assistance and political influence to help fix government variances, jobs and investigations in Lattanzio’s favor, the former councilman would receive entertainment, tickets, vacations, gifts, meals, campaign contributions, campaign activities and other services. Although no charges were brought Ognibene, his quest for a judgeship was squashed. In addition, there were reported shenanigans going on at Christ the King that included the sale of “questionable” memorabilia. Residents are also concerned about Ognibene’s health and ability to muster the strength for this special election. I think we can agree that Ognibene had his chance to represent the district; however, the 30th council district deserves a chance for new leadership.
