Willets Point landowners call in the Feds

From the Daily News:

A group of property owners at Willets Point are taking another swing at a city-funded development company for a lobbying goof.

Willets Point United asked federal prosecutors late last week to wade into its battle with the Flushing Willets Point Corona Land Development Corp. The corporation's leader - former Queens Borough President Claire Shulman - was slapped with a record fine recently for not registering as a lobbyist.

"We're hoping the U.S. Attorney will do something about this," said Michael Rikon, a lawyer who represents the business group. "Anything to stop this kind of conduct."

"It's outrageous," Rikon said. "An executive branch of government paid money to lobby the legislative branch."


Looks like Claire has lawyered up...

Bob Bishop, an attorney hired by the Flushing Willets Point Corona Land Development Corp. two weeks ago, said the mistake has been resolved.

CYA, Grandma.

Promising start, but every other sentence needs to use the word Bloomberg, Bloomberg, Bloomberg - whether he is to blame or not.

Let his saturation of the media now boomerrang back, for everytime someone hears his name, Willets Pt needs to stick somewhere in the back of the brain.

A Bloomie Boomerrang. Nice ring doncha think?

Good idea, and how about 'Queens County Machine insider Claire' as a title?

Assoicate them with this mess, too.

Then even the old grannies that vote for that crowd ad nausium, with plenty of time to sit around and gossip, can be reached, too.

Memo to Willets Point United:

If the feds turn their back on you (they will - Obama is a totally committed Socialist - for him, eminent domain on Willets Point is just a practice run), initiate your own federal RICO case.

You already have an attorney. Have him advise you on the steps.

You just might put these creeps in jail and save your businesses and your property.

Your employees will be saved, too.

Long overdue for her complicity with Donald Manes!

But I'd hate being the fed who has to scope Shulman's bovine ass to see where all her other dirty secrets are hidden.

She's getting senile and will crack under FBI pressure to avoid doing any jail time.

I wonder if she'll give up as many of her accomplices as Brian Mc Laughlin did?

He's in the epicenter of the web!

P.S.
