Crowley can't answer fraud charges

Excellent reporting by the Queens Chronicle this week:

Crowley was not eligible for matching funds because of outstanding fines from campaign finance violations committed by her campaign during her bid for City Council in 2001 against ex-councilman Dennis Gallagher, whose April 18 resignation necessitated the special election.

According to a CFB audit, the Crowley campaign was required to pay $56,267 in penalties, $22,207 of which was for exceeding expenditure limits. Another $20,000 was for failure to adequately explain allegations of money order fraud — allegations the campaign denied. The penalties are currently being paid on an installment plan.

She damn well better answer these misappropriations. I'm still behind her. She's not the idiot some believe she is. But if she's dishonest, goodbye. Give us answers Liz. Fast. And truthful.

she is pathetic. if this is true, how can she be allowed to run without paying the fines. She raised enough to pay it off.

Har har harrrddy har har. She's an idiot. Don't take my word for it. Please attend the JPCA sponsored candidate debate coming up later this month and see for yourself. And if that doesn't convince you, how about the fact that it is confirmed Pinky is an unpaid advisor to her campaign?

Many have accused the juniper park patriots blog of bring Gallagher's attack blog, but it is attacking Crowley now. Yet, may have written here that Gallagher is working with Crowley. What gives?

We keep reading here about her huge campaign account for the special election, why is she being permitted to pay her fines on an installment plan?

Gallagher no longer controls the blog. He lost all interest quite a long time ago once his legal issue surfaced. It is now run by a near senile old man who though still friendly with Gallagher, maintains an independent streak. A streak that has him favoring Como. Thus, "sorry old friend", but you're girl Lizzie has to go kind of thing. Gallaghers loss of grip on the blog is similiar to his loss of grip on his fake civic association. Notice how that (and it's lapdog, Fat Cimino) went straight underground after the indictment? Connect all the dots.

As a republican, it's good to hear that Gallagher is a closet democrat.

When is the landlord going to remove his name from his former storefont office on Metropolitan avenue?

It is a stain on the community that should be erased.

Let me just say that this woman is a con artist and scammer, who will do anything to raise funds for her campaign. I will not say what industry I work in, for fear of retribution. What I will say, however, is that she took money (LOTS of money$$$) from us and said she would support our industry and cause. Otherwise we would not have given her a dime. Then, a little over a week after she cashed the checks, she alligned herself with an opposing group! It is unbelievable that she wuold misrepresent her intentions and beliefs in order to make money. Doesnt she know we are the ones voting for her? She is not a very intelligent person, either!
