Claire Shulman admits her malfeasance

What was that, Claire? You admit that you were set up as a not-for-profit and funded by the city for the express purpose of illegally lobbying the city to get the Willets Point project passed? Subsequently, you were fined a record amount for not being registered and had a fundraiser at Citifield to pay off the fines.

How about this 1991 study, completed while you were borough president, that said the infrastructure should be installed and the area would thrive on its own? Who's that next to you and what is his role in all this?

Didn't you also assure everyone that eminent domain would only be used as a last resort? So why aren't you standing up and condemning the condemners?

This is but the tip of the iceberg.

In the video posted here, Shulman boasts of being funded by the City. City records confirm that Shulman's LDC received $450,000.00.

However, Shulman's LDC notified an Albany agency, in writing, that the LDC "was not sponsored by the City". This is after Shulman's LDC received the $450,000.00. As a result of the false information provided by the LDC, the Albany agency determined that the LDC does not need to comply with the Public Authorities law -- essentially allowing Shulman's LDC to operate in secret and without accountability. The submission of the false written instrument to Albany is a felony criminal act. It also violates federal law.

So depending on its audience, and regardless of whether or not it is lawful, Shulman's LDC has made whatever statement is in its best interest at the time.

It gets worse. When EDC continued to fund Shulman's LDC even after becoming aware that the LDC had admitted its lobbying to influence the legislative vote of the City Council re: Willets Point, Shulman falsely testified to the Council regarding the payments received by her LDC. Shulman's patently false testimony -- which contradicts City records of payments, not to mention Shulman's own signature on the contracts requiring the payments -- obstructed the City Council's exercise of its oversight authority regarding why EDC would continue to fund an LDC which was then under investigation by the Office of the City Clerk due to unlawful lobbying (and for which the record penalty of $59,090.00 would eventually be imposed).

There should be no doubt that Willets Point property owners have been deprived of the due process to which they are entitled.

Mother F*CKER!!! Or is it Mother of ALL F*CKERS??? Just how much money has been squandered on this Willets Point corruption, let alone all the other controversial developments and eminent domain procedures so that Bloomturd and his development cronies can run rampant with OUR tax monies? How many teachers' jobs could be saved? How many firehouses could remain open? And what riles me up is how blatant they are, knowing that Bloomturd controls the press so people are not informed or misinformed of these injustices. Once we lost free and objective press, we lost the battle.

Floo-shing's favored developer!
