City Comptroller John Liu has awarded nearly $144,000 to two groups he enlisted to help him battle attacks against public-workers' pensions, The Post has learned.
Liu, known for pro-union stands, said in March he was "partnering" with the National Institute for Retirement Security and the New School's Schwartz Center to conduct research supporting his views on pensions.
Those views are in sharp contrast to those of Mayor Bloomberg, who is trying to stem pension spending.
Liu steered $50,000 to the New School's Schwartz Center for Economic Policy Analysis, and $93,725 to the Retirement Security group in no-bid contracts for research he commissioned.

READ A BOOK, PAL. Preferably one made out of paper and not energy wasting electrons and made from toxic Chinese plastic.
Here ya go, asshole!
tweeding (from William Magear Tweed, political leader in New York City 1823-1878) over-development, unnecessary development, or development out of character with the neighborhood, facilitated by corrupt zoning changes, tax abatements, or incentives by politicians to benefit politically connected developers. In short: private gain at public expense.

And your point is??? Can't take the heat? Stop beating your meat!
EVAN! I told you to leave those Queens Crap people alone! Wanna get me in trouble? Now I have to put away my tweed suit. You know the one. It's got the permanent pit stains. John Liu is the best comptroller "our" money can buy!
it would be interesting to know how many Queens members of local groups have been critical of John Liu in public ,
and were retaliated on by government agencies ?
My friend was.
