Quinn: No Fake Groups in This Budget


Before passing last night’s budget, Christine Quinn told reporters at City Hall, “I can assure New Yorkers there are no fictitious organizations in this budget.”

Later, in response to a question, Quinn said groups that were funded last year and don't appear in this years budget weren't necessarily rejected--some Council members give funding for more than one year.

The question is now how many millions of dollars were steered to relatives or lovers of Speaker Quinn and her corrupt cronies . Speaker Quinn wants us to forget the following press conference when she was asked about her slush fund scandal:

Maybe no apparent fake groups, but certainly fake reporters too lazy to do the legwork on the politically connected groups that did get large amounts. Much like her mentor Vito Lopez, Quinn has a poverty-pimp empire essentially under her control.
