He has money for this?

From the NY Post:

A year after he was booted from Albany on charges he beat and slashed his girlfriend, [Hiram] Monserrate is working the counter at Papaya Pizza, a 2-month-old, $1.25-a-slice pizza joint located in his old Corona campaign headquarters.

Monserrate -- who pleaded poverty after losing his plum position in the Senate -- played coy when asked whether he owned the place.

The business was registered with the Department of State last November -- a month after Monserrate was indicted on separate federal corruption charges -- under the name "Papaya Pizza Corp."

The address on the paperwork is his mother's house in Queens, where Monserrate has lived off and on.

A worker who identified himself as the manager called Monserrate "the boss."


And it turns out that the pizza sucks.

It could be a front!

Maybe he's selling coke (and I don't mean the soft drink).

Cash businesses (like pizza parlors) are always a great way to launder money too.

Would you eat a slice sold by this sleaze bag?

Not me!

What are the ingredients in a Hiram pie?

Anybody got any ideas?

LOL...maybe we'll see Dennis Gallagher wheeling around a Sabrett hot dog cart after he's finished "advising" Councilman Peter Koo.

Please don't speculate what he'll be using for mustard.

he just got a bad review on his pizza, so i guess he'll be looking for another scam to run...

This guy has been involved in so many shady deals, from running a security company on Northern for all the Drug front bars doing the door, someone always got shot. Then off to City council and then Senate, driving around with his PD plaque when he was no longer a councilman. Beating his lil chica chica because another cop gave her his business card,having fundraisers in Gay Drug fronts, when are they going to catch up to him?

I'm familiar, in passing, with this place's operation, and I wouldn't eat the pizza there. Monserrate is occasionally banging some girl (not the slashed girlfriend) on the backroom prep table.
