Manhattan City Councilman Miguel Martinez has shipped hundreds of thousands of taxpayer dollars to a nonprofit group where his sister sits on the board of directors, a Daily News probe has found.
This fiscal year, the Council awarded the Upper Manhattan Council Assisting Neighbors $669,000 in so-called discretionary funds, of which $406,000 was sponsored by Martinez alone, records show.

How many "slush puppies"

rhetorical/satirical question).

council members left
when all of the dust clears....

Let's give all these guys and gals the "Master Tweeder's" award
