Why Does Quinn and the City Council Keep Funding the Brooklyn Bosses Vito's Non Profit Political Machine?
Does Quin and the Other Mayor Candidates Believe in Smoke and Mirror's Vito or Fact?
In 2009 Lopez candidate David Yassky for comptroller lost to ethically challenged Liu. In 2010 Lopez candidate Kathleen M. Rice Nassau DA from AG lost to Schneiderman. Lopez also lost both of his Surrogate Court Judgeships countywide. Lopez does along with the other county leaders control the NYC Board of Elections which came handy in 2009 to de Blasio when the BOE knocked him off the ballot for petition filing problems. Candidates without de Blasio connections to the BOE stay off the ballot for those type of problems.
