"It must be remembered that there is nothing more difficult to plan, more doubtful of success, nor more dangerous to manage, than the creation of a new system. For the initiator has the enmity of all who would profit by the preservation of the old institutions and merely lukewarm defenders in those who would gain by the new ones." Machiavelli
Party Like a PoliticianBy DIA, Section News
So a little while back Joe Bruno was down in Florida partying with Donald Trump at some high end resort. Who was paying for the trip? Why, his campaign donors, of course. He was working hard for the citizens of NY down there in Florida. Hey, if you had $2.5 million in your campaign fund you'd probably do it to, right?
And check this one out: For example, the report says that Sen. Martin Connor, D-Brooklyn, spent more than $70,000 of his campaign funds since July 2003 on car expenses, including the cost of the car, repairs and keeping it in a garage near his home.Pimp that ride!! $70,000K? Wow. I hope he's got the hydraulic shocks for that kind of money. So, its pretty clear that the political system in NY is a complete joke and totally corrupted by money. Spitzer is talking about campaign finance reform, as is Weld. If you are interested in helping you can chip in $5 here to move some Clean Money legislation forward.
