From today's NY Post:"A real-estate developer who was forced by Eliot Spitzer to repay nearly $1 million in Medicaid overcharges has contributed nearly $20,000 to the campaign of City Council Speaker Christine Quinn."
FRAUDSTER GAVE QUINN 20G
One of Quinn's political consultants said that Quinn has no plans to return the checks.
Well then perhaps she should also plan her permanent exit from City Hall in 2009. This is the great "leader and reformer" of the city council.

Some of the "finest" politicos that money can buy! The real estate industry not only owns the actual chunks of property that their buildings sit upon but, apparently, Speaker Quinn (in part or parcel)! And we thought that Vallone was a demon in disguise! Okay, so now we, at least, don't have to look at his pompous toupee!
Well, don't the newspapers out here add to the childish view of the world? Republican: bad bad bad Democrat: (in hushed tones) good good good
There are plenty of Republicans who have stuck it to us good also......like Councilman Dennis Gallagher!
Most politicians are assholes and sellouts. What party they are affiliated with hardly even matters, especially in NYC.
In Queens County, Democrats and Republicans are all friends and make deals with each other so that the incumbent stays in office or the "favorite son" assumes power. Where else do you see Democrats at Republican fundraisers and vice versa? Melinda Katz singing God Bless America at Serf Maltese's birthday party/fundraiser? Helen Marshall at the VIP table? Does Hillary Clinton show up at Trent Lott's fundraisers? I think not. Only in Queens County, folks, only in Queens County.
Quinn was a product of the Manton machine, so her connection with a crooked developer comes as no surprise. This chick used to protest topless in front of St. Patrick's Cathedral and now she is "a respected leader" of the city council. Give me a break.
Maybe she took her "topless gigs" private and that's how she landed her current position.
No you have her mixed up with that other manly woman, Melinda Katz, who reportedly "canoodled" with Alan Hevesi in order to get her assembly and council gigs.
Sorry for the confusion. I couldn't see "the Forest (Hills) for the trees"!
