* Assemblyman William Boyland (D-Brooklyn) — 95%. Boyland had the dubious distinction of being indicted by two separate US attorneys over the last year: He was caught soliciting bribes to help raise money for his legal bills on a separate corruption case. * Assemblyman Vito Lopez — 90%. Despite multiple sexual-harassment claims against him, the most recent costing taxpayers a $103,000 settlement to two Albany staffers, the former head of the Brooklyn Democratic Committee sailed to another win. * State Sen. Malcolm Smith (D-Queens) — uncontested: As The Post reported exhaustively, Smith co-founded and raised thousands of dollars for a Katrina-related charity that distributed hardly any money to the victims. The feds are investigating the entire affair. * Assembly Speaker Sheldon Silver — 84%. In addition to his official duties, Silver has become Mr. Fix-It, crafting various coverups and payoffs for sexual scandals in his chamber (see the aforementioned Lopez settlement).
Finally, even when New Yorkers make the right decision — i.e., tossing a bad pol — the state’s corrupt culture tosses a lifeline.The Post’s reporting on Bronx Assemblywoman Naomi Rivera getting taxpayer-funded jobs for boyfriends and family members led to a September primary loss. No matter. In swoops the far-left union cat’s-paw Working Families Party to provide Rivera with its line. Thankfully, the public had had enough; Rivera only received 8% of the vote on Tuesday. Alas, that she would even have a second chance speaks volumes of how difficult it is to cleanse New York’s corrupt political culture.
Plus Bloomberg NYC Marathon Billionaires out of touch....?
