Ray Nagin another Greedy Progressive Democ"RAT" has been indicted by the "FEDS" and he is not even from New York the Scandal Capital of the World, nor is he a "Regular Democ"RAT"ic State Senator
He is not even star of "Sex in The Assembly" that smash hit that still has everyone talking and "PAYING THEIR LAWYERS" from campaign funds.
I wonder under public financing would that be ALLOWED ?
It would surly hurt all those Democ"RATS" who are under indictment or are under investigation if they could not pay their legal bills with campaign contributions.
If fact how much campaign money has been spent on lawyers for those who have been indicted in the past say 20 years ?
Maybe that ace who does all those fancy spread sheets can break it down by parties and public office positions. ?
BTW Al Sharpton have you paid back all your back taxes and fines ?
Do you owe New York State or City any Money ?
If you do we need it badly so PAY UP NOW
BTW Has the press look into the 990 fillings of the UFT ?
What type of controls do they have on the spending of money ?
Do they have their 990 report on their website for all to see ?
What type of conflict on interest rules do they have in place to prevent self-dealing ?
In Fact one should check out all the unions 990 fillings and see how they answer those questions.
You may be SHOCK at what you find.
