Johnny's gotten himself into a fine mess

From the NY Post:

Comptroller candidate John Liu is leading in the "poles," which is not a good place to be.

Liu's campaign was slapped with 587 summonses by the Sanitation Department for plastering the city's utility poles with his campaign posters.

Each summons carries a $75 fine, so the Queens councilman owes $44,025.

John Liu has no regard for the law. I upsets me most is how he plays the race card. The Daily new caught his lies about working in a sweatshop. Instead of admitting the truth, Liu has a rally to call the DN racist and state they should focus on the issues. Yet Liu made the sweatshop story the centerpiece of his campaign. It was all he talked about and in all his ads until DN exposed his lies. I hope Liu loses big time.

Is this the same getleman who claims he worked in a sweat shop with his parents and they are denying it? HAHAH!! How proud they are now his parents!!! Divulging family secrets to advance his politcal career. Shame and scandal in the family.

On 42nd Street outside the Library where the debate was held on Thursday, someone was putting what looked like dozens of Thompson posters on city lampposts. THis regulation is routinely flouted.

Sounds like one ogf his opponents has some pull with the Sanitation Dept.
Yassky I am willing to bet, he is Bloomberg's boy.

Not to worry. He'll follow in the footsteps of Bovine Shulman and have someone else pay the fines. How does that go again? Crime doesn't pay?

did liu really give back the $4950.00 donation he got
from convicted Ponzi scheme operator,NORMAN HSU.
HSU was convicted of ca mpaign finance fraud in FEDERAL court,and sentenced in August 2009,for swindling $20 MILLION.
WHERE IS LIU'S PROOF OF RETURN? WAS HIS CANCELLED CHECK PUBLISHED IN THE QUEENS WEEKLIES? WILL THE DONATION BE USED TO PAY HIS
SANITATION FINE ?

Johnny is above the law. Money is no object when the riches from the orient keep pouring into the camapaign. Not to mention "the take" from the sweatshops, porn parlors and whore houses. Queens politics - ya gotta love it!!!

He should stick that thumb where it belongs - up his ass!

Son of a convicted felon, he's already breaking the law.

He's also a liar. His mother never was a "worker" in that sweatshop. Hey Johnny, who owns that sweatshop factory?

Look carefully into the "Seven Giants" real estate empire and you'll find out a whole lot more than who owns that sweat shop factory in LIC!
