Huntley records subpoenaed by Feds

From the NY Post:

Federal probers are focusing on a Queens senator under investigation for steering hundreds of thousands of public dollars to not-for-profit groups with ties to her family and friends.

Sen. Shirley Huntley, a Democrat, received a federal subpoena seeking records and documents related to her obtaining more than $400,000 for the nonprofits through the Legislature's notorious "member item" system of government earmarks, a source familiar with the situation told The Post.

The federal subpoena came on top of a probe that included the issuance of state subpoenas by Attorney General Eric Schneiderman, first reported by The Post in March, of possible violations involving the Huntley-connected nonprofits.

State government insiders and law-enforcement sources said the Manhattan and Brooklyn district US attorneys' offices have broad probes of Senate members including Huntley under way.

This seems like a common means of distributing your tax dollars to bogus community groups that benefit the Pols family.

I second that! Rumor has it that Omar the tentmaker just ordered several yards of orange fabric in anticipation of Moby's incarceration!
