"Ball’s lawsuit threat stems from Katz’ announcement last week that he would be seeking re-election this fall. According to Katz’ chief of staff Joseph Ahearn, Katz was asked about a City & State report (and various follow-ups) that cited internal Moreland Commission documents that questioned Ball’s use of $23,000 in campaign funds at clothing and retail stores.
The Moreland Commission, an anti-corruption panel that was investigating state lawmakers, was disbanded by Gov. Andrew Cuomo in March after lawmakers agreed to pass tougher anti-bribery laws among other ethics reforms. Since then, U.S. Attorney Preet Bharara has stepped in to review the commission’s documents.
Tacopina’s letter doesn’t reference exactly what Katz said that Ball found objectionable.News 12 Westchester reported Katz said Ball is “under investigation.”
Ahearn said Katz’ office had not yet received the letter and declined further comment, other than to say Katz was citing public reports.
Ball, on the other hand, has had plenty to say about Katz. According to an audio clip posted by the Yorktown News, Ball last week said you “don’t know when (Katz) is high or when he’s just completely delusional or paranoid because of his evidently constant drug use.”"
Can Steve Katz countersue because Ballwood have to prove that he is evidently constantly using drugs????
Is Ball another client that's going to pay Joe Tacopina a lot of money for case it's going to go nowhere?http://suzannahbtroy.blogspot.com/2014/05/joe-tacopina-rod-lawyer-big-fat-super.html?m=1
"LEGAL MANEUVERING
Was revenge on the menu at Fresco by Scotto Tuesday, when former NYPD commissioner Bernie Kerik and high-profile attorney Ron Fischetti dined for two hours before being joined by Geraldo Rivera? The convening of this trio would surely worry Joe Tacopina, the brash lawyer who once called Kerik a friend and Fischetti a mentor, but has feuded with both in recent years. In January, Rivera blindsided Tacopina in a WABC interview with tough questions about Kerik’s bar complaint against him."
