Quinn Still Raising Money
In a bit of interesting timing, Christine Quinn is having a fund-raiser on April 24 in Manhattan at the home of David Durst, a Hillary Clinton contributor.
Quinn, a likely mayoral candidate who shaped her public image as a reformer, has spent the last couple of weeks responding to a budgeting scandal at the City Council.
One of her likely mayoral rivals, Bill Thompson, has been critical of the Council, and by extension, Quinn. The other likely participant in the race, Anthony Weiner, has stayed notably quiet on the matter.
Here's the invitation, which was forwarded to me by a reader who received it yesterday afternoon:

Follow the money--- I bet it leads back to the leader of the council--- Christine Quinn, The Queen of Micromanagement, The Queen of Slush Funds, Miss I have to Know everything thats going on, Ms. Phony, and last but not least-- Ms. Bloombergian.
Quick call the super-knowit-alls for help, including Speaker Quinn's assistants Laura Popa, Maura Keany, and Jeremy Hoffman. Jeremy will do damage control and save the day. The New York Times has just made the connection between Speaker Quinn's fantom organizations and the Kendell Stewart aide indictments. The money that Reid stole was first "parked" in one of Speaker Quinn's phony Veteran groups. Isn't funny how Speaker Quinn fired about 75 City Council staffers since becoming Speaker. These were people just trying to do their jobs and make an honest living to support their families. Speaker Quinn fires them meanwhile Quinn is stealing and hiding taxpayer money. Please read this article about corrupt Speaker Quinn in today's New York Times:
