Another Gang of Four member to bite the dust

From NY1:

State Senator Carl Kruger is expected to turn himself into authorities Thursday on unspecified charges brought forth by the U.S. attorney's office, sources tell NY1.

The veteran Brooklyn lawmaker and the former finance chairman of the state Senate has been implicated in an FBI influence peddling probe since 2008.

Kruger's surrender comes a week after a Brooklyn restaurant owner pleaded guilty in federal court that he lied to an undercover FBI agent, who was investigating the lawmaker.

Michael Levitis had bureaucratic problems with his restaurant, and says the senator's longtime chief of staff encouraged him to give the senator a fundraiser a return.

I just don't understand why NYS keeps voting in the same garbage politicians over and over. Meanwhile the rest of the country is dismantling these crooks and we keep voting for democrats.

Is not the willingness of the Republican leadership to cur deals with Espada, Monserrate and Kruger grand? They're all the same in this state. They deserve each other's company. It's what guys like Jack Newfield used to call "the Permanent Government."

Let's hope that this snares other South Crooklyn Democrats the likes of Councilman Recchia, Councilman Nelson, Assemblyman Brook-Krasny & a big fan of Senator Kruger, none other than Crooklyn Borough President Marty Markowitz.
Birds of a feather stick together, let's hope all their feathers are tightly stuck together.
