From True News from ChangeNYC.org:...for the Comptroller candidates, it’s as though the whole pension fund scandal threatening to bring down the former State Comptroller, Alan Hevesi, and current City Comptroller, Bill Thompson, didn’t even exist. Rather than pushing each other out of the way to get on NY1 like usual, the four Comptroller candidates have been eerily silent on Hank Morris, Steven Rattner and all of the other City big shots rolled up into the pay-to-play investigation.
Is that because the Comptroller candidates’ campaigns consultants and donors operate similar to Rattner, Morris, and the rest, to speak out again pay-for-play, while avoiding criticism of hypocrisy? Is it become some of the candidates and consultants are deeply interconnected with the indicted Morris? It’s not as if there is some precedent that would make it politically damaging for a candidate to attack pension fund abuse.
You gotta read the whole thing to appreciate this...

What kind of financial management experience/skills do these "candidates" possess
You expect the Queens weeklies to do their journalistic tasks? Nah, they only want to cover the local Little Leagues and Beauty Parlor openings. ("Ooh, there's Joe Mattone. Estelle Cooper, and Claire Shulman. Smile, smile, smile!")
If they asked the hard questions of the comptroller candidates, there'd go their Wishing-You-A-Happy Asshole-Day political advertising.
The feds convicted John Liu's father for bank fraud (stealing money) from the Great Eastern Bank on Main Street in F-Liu-xhing!
That ought to qualify that son of a bastard to guard NYC's coffers!
A vote for John Liu is a vote for Tommy Huang...his "esteemed" and "honorable" cousin!
These 4 candidates are so genetically dishonest, they still haven't figured out what all the pension fuss is about.
And anyway, they have no Republican to blame it on.
Was Joseph Liu (Johnny's daddy)
in the Chinese laundry business?
Washing funds from overseas
so they might cleanly slip into some prominent political campaign coffers?
H-m-m-m-m....
where did the likes of Stavisky,
Ackerman, etc. amass their huge war chests?
"The senator" (Leonard) was always spouting anti Tommy Huang rhetoric in the press, but might he have actually (all that time) gotten some funding through Huang's father in law's Great Eastern bank ("daddy" Joey Liu's bank)?
You've got to look under the bed if you want to discover where the dirt has been swept all of these years!
You wont find that kind of info in an Ackerman owned Queens Tribune!
omg do any of them have financial experience? and i'm not talking about donations or buy outs! and please confirm is is true about lui and haung are they really cousins? it would make so much sense why this jack ass gets away with destroying communities thru out queens. a project on mazeau street still sits there,damn ugly eye sore.....
Don't fault Liu for his father's mistakes. Everyone in their family has a shady character.
So... KATZ in 09!
Come on guys, that is why its called the CLUBHOUSE and its called the MACHINE.
What is the biggest criticism of Tony Avella?
He is a bad person?
Look at the models of civic virture in his fellow legislators.
His policies?
Look at the laws they pass - issues that will be debated in law schools around the coutry for decades?
Hardly.
THEY CRITICISE HIM BECAUSE HE DOES NOT PLAY BY THEIR RULES.
don't trust John Liu he is unethical and a liar and he lies to play the race card when it benefits him only. He belong in jail with his father. I wish I can toss him in a room of Falun Gong members so they can beat his ass as he support the beatings of harassment of them in Flushing. Liu has no heart and no brain. He likes to state how smart he is with numbers and all he talks about is how he worked in a sweatshop as a child. who the fuck cares? how about talking about how he voted himself a 25% pay raise in the city council or how he is such a fucking douche bag.

Hevesi and Katz are tied together at the hip and other places that will come out during this campaign.
Morris and Hevesi go her into politics, that why she plays dumb
He contributers are all developers and lawyers who feed off the pension fund
They should all be put in jail with Morris and Hevesi
Who sez that they are just playin' dumb???
Liu is a liar and SNEAKY, next time I see him, I will bend him over and ram him hard in the a$$, I am sure he will like it. :0
katz? she sells herself to developers, no fxxking way!
need all new faces in the office.
John Liu took campaing donnations from his daddy's employees for his run for City Council. What a piece o' crap he is.
So daddy Liu is stealing from the low income residents of Queens while sonny boy takes the bank employees money to represnet the very same people getting ripped off by daddy Liu.
How on this planet anyone outside of this slimy scumbag family could vote for this turd is beyond me.

ABK - anyone but katz, that fucking 2 faced whore.
Katz Comptroller 09
Weiner for Senator '10
Woohoo!
I thought that those "canoodlers" Hevesi and Katz were tied together at their sex organs!
Oh I know...the current scuttlebutt is that she's a lez!
Maybe when it comes to political advancement she swings both ways!
Liu is a clubhouse hack...the son of a crook and Tommy Huang's cousin.
The apple doesn't fall far from the tree so I do fault Liu for his father's shady ways!
But Katz is just as bad.
She's been in bed with every major and minor developer in NYC...the brazen slut!
Pull her campaign contributions and SEE WHERE SHE GETS HER MONEY FROM!
It's available at the NYC Board of Elections site...on line.
wow! i find it so sad that these people are our council members all i can say is WOW!! let's get rid of them all, bring back term limits, and someone with experience as a controller please!

Because they all getting money from the same investiment bankers and developers who do business with the pension funds
Liu has beeen the chairman of transportation for the last 8 years. Will he do as good of a job on the city's pensions as he did on the MTA funding"?
THEY ARE ALL A BUNCH OF WINDBAGS
The Hevesi's are tooo good for Melinda...She deserves that greasy sneek Jack Chartier...if she only went that way!
