From the Times Ledger:Of the 13 legislators who left office due to scandal or ethical misconduct from 2005-10, nearly a quarter of them were from Queens, according to a report released Monday by good government group Citizens Union on turnover in the state Legislature.
The number of state legislators leaving office due to criminal charges or misconduct has tripled in the last six years compared to the six-year period from 1999-2004, the report found.
Former Flushing state Assemblyman Brian McLaughlin was sent to prison on corruption charges and ex-Assemblyman Anthony Seminerio resigned in June 2009 after being indicted for corruption.
Erstwhile state Sen. Hiram Monserrate was kicked out of the Senate for cutting his girlfriend, Karla Giraldo, with a broken glass.
While the report did not document the departures of statewide officials, former state Comptroller Alan Hevesi of Forest Hills resigned in 2006 over a scandal involving him having the State Police chauffeur his ailing wife.
From 2005-10, 13 lawmakers were booted from office due to criminal charges or misconduct while only four legislators left for the same reasons from 1999-2004, the report found.

@ Moby I've got 4 words for you:
North Flushing Senior Center
Where's that schmuck who claims the Captain only points out black criminals?
See, I noticed the Hispanic guy in the middle picture!
ROUND UP THE USUAL SUSPECTS!!!!
North Flushing Senior Center
Hey! Isn't that the place that washes Moby's (and other elected officials who gave them larger than normal size donations) money for her son Evan and his Parkside Group? One senior center getting close to $600,000 should have put them on the radar. Is Gary overseeing and protecting this operation? What a soap opera...or is it dope opera??? Where are the FEDS when you need 'em?
How do we get protection from these elected mobsters?
And please...no condom jokes.
An Irish, a Dominican and an Italian... Non-Anglican diversity.
why are there no comments from the socialist/progressive "sympathizers"
they must have bused out to Wisconsin, to join the U.F.T. ("illegal sick out"), hoping to bankrupt the state taxpayers.
Still here, gramps. Sometimes I'll let your words speak for themselves. And I don't weant to give the impression that I'm defending people like this.

What would happen if they all went to a bar?
Someone would wonder where the Priest and the Rabbi were?
I'd still love to give Monseratte the lap dance of his life! The guy is HOT!
eliot spitzer and Brian Mcloughlin were the most selfish punks in recent albany history
no body comes close to those ego maniacs
I got an mailer this year from Toby stavsiky implying that she is cleaning albany with a picture of monseratte
are you kidding me. she and her son are 1000 times more corrupt then Hiram ever was,

Oopsy. I meant to say I was cleaning up in Albany. My bad!!!
If Toby Stavisky REALLY wanted to clean up Albany, she should take a shower!!!
And maybe Evan should douche while we're at it!
It's a "corruption cluster" that will be probed by political scientists for 100 years.
Did someone say probed? I'M THERE! PLEASE!!!!
Pretty please!!!!
Is it illegal if Evan and Parkside sells the Democratic Party endorsement to candidates that hire Parkside?

Does it matter? No one challenges anything that those criminals do!!!
Is it illegal that Evan uses an empty apartment in Flushing as his primary address so he can run for District Leader and continue his "pay-to-play" scheme of selling the Democratic Party's endorsements?
Meanwhile, his wife lives in Rockland County and is Chairman of the Rockland County Democratic Party.
But Evan doesn't live with his wife in that big house in Rockland.
bayside boy
i dont know who you are but would you run against evan for district leader
you make alot of sense
Not me...there are some others out there who should run! We should all get behind them and fight the corrupt Stavisky machine.
Elio are you listening?
Oh. By the way, I'm glad I have some fans at the Parkside Group.
