From the NY Post:More than a dozen state officeholders -- including Gov. Paterson and Senate Majority Leader Malcolm Smith (D-Queens) -- owe unpaid fines for campaign-finance violations, The Post has learned.
In all, some 16 sitting state Assembly members and senators are among 1,421 scofflaws who have shrugged off nearly $1.7 million in penalties for not filing campaign-finance reports and other violations, according to a Post analysis of outstanding fines by the notoriously toothless state Board of Elections.
By far the biggest offender was Assemblywoman Carmen Arroyo (D-Bronx), whose four campaign committees have racked up $33,648 in fines over the past 15 years -- more than double the next-largest total.
"You'll have to call my lawyer," Arroyo told a reporter who called her home, hanging up without giving her attorney's name.

She must be between lawyers right now. She wants a lawyer to tell her it's honorable to ask the scripted questions supplied by the UFT and then vote the way her UFT employers have instructed.
She believes that a toxic site is great for a school in Maspeth, but horrible for a school in her district.
She apparently cannot get her principles in line with the payments from the UFT. And, violating campaign finance laws is just another day at the paid for office.
Dump her on November 3.
LMAO, this is the women who told us to thank Liz Crowley for working so hard in our community, I just have to laugh at this one. They are all so full of shit and hopefully she'll also be voted out of her seat and bring in someone who works for da bronx........
