Johnny gets shafted

From the NY Post:

New York City's comptroller-elect was swindled by an ex-staffer who tricked his way into his boss' bank account to the tune of nearly $4,000, cops said yesterday.

City Councilman John Liu (D-Queens), who takes control of the city's purse strings next month, was allegedly ripped off by a campaign canvasser who got his hands on the pol's personal information and banking details.

Cops said Lawrence Sessoms, 24, from Brooklyn, phoned in three payments on his AT&T phone bill pretending to be Liu.

It left a $3,919 hole in Liu's campaign account.

i wonder how many press releases John C.Liu sent out to n.y.c. newspapers ?
a N.Y.Post editor told me that they got more press releases since Liu came on the scene, than any other
n.y. politician.

Fish lips will be our comptroller when he can't even account for his own campaign. We're fucked

If he doesn't monitor his bank personal bank accounts, how is he going to monitor every agencies accounts?
