Council members spend more time with developers than constituents

If you don't read anything else this week, I suggest you read THIS.

And this is probably only the tip of the iceberg!

If bribes were paid by check instead of cash this story would have legs
It's not like you can do anything about it right?

This is pretty serious stuff - you don't take an oath to serve the public, then hide meetings with people where money may be exchanged to render your legal responsibilities moot.

There are a lot of things we need to do to make government more transparent and accountable, the first is to make a public list of the schedule of our electeds.

And we all love how the hacks make light of it - they all suck, nothing new blah blah blah.

Sorry guys, there is a new dawn. One of the reasons that both Bernie and Trump resonate is that they tell the truth. Blogs like this will be the death knell to business as usual.

"Tishman Speyer was a significant contributor to the Committee to Save New York, a conservative nonprofit lobbying group that supported the big business agenda of Gov. Andrew Cuomo (D-New York)."

Conservative real estate lobbyists controlling NYS democrats? Never.

Agreed ANON #5. They are the only candidates not controlled by lobbying groups.

Van Bramer has been familiar with the back door..uh...of politics... from the get go. He Took chump change...a mere $10,500 from developers of the former 5 Pointz site at Court Square...the Wolkoff family.
Dromm takes his (money) any which way he can!

Add money laundering and racketeering to the Government and Real Estate Development complex.

Wait for the Panama Papers to expose more local chicanery in states and cities where hyper gentrification and sociopath city planning takes place.

A relative of that scumbag killer dictator in Syria has holdings in luxury apartments in recently built behemoth towers in London. It may be early, but it is goddamn certain that scumbags like this and other lowlife billionaires are doing the same thing here, in addition to hiding behind LLC's to purchase properties, condos and even to fund unregulated superpacs.

stay fucking tuned

Well, why don't one of you actually do it and submit the findings to Queenscrap? Nothing stops you.
