Weberman Conviction A Green Shoot in Shot Gun New Journalism
NYT Left Out It Blogger Sources
It was lots of Pushing That Got Brooklyn DA Hynes to Put Weberman Away for 103 Years. The pushing started with bloggers like Failed Messiah, Survives of Justice and Voice or Justice, the Jewish Week writing stories of sexual abuse ignored by the Brooklyn DA. These bloggers and their postings hook up with the NYT's reporters in the last year. At the same time Hynes blockade of trying sexual cases against the orthodox began to make its way into the NYT, Brooklyn Democratic Boss Vito Lopez, Hynes major back of the DA reelection begain to fall his sexual harassment case also became public
The predator and the prosecutor(NYP) It was also a big win for Brooklyn DA Joe Hynes, who finally brought a sex-abuse case against a member of the insular Satmar community. Of course, only the harsh glare of the press spotlight — shone by The Post, among others — got Hynes to act. There’s no understating the importance of the 103-year prison sentence imposed this week on Nechemya Weberman. A respected member of the Satmar Hasidic community, Weberman will probably die in prison now that Brooklyn Supreme Court Justice John Ingram threw the book at him after his conviction for sexually abusing a child he was “counseling.”
Even the NYT Former Public Editor Accused his paper of lifting the Abuse Story from the Bloggers and the Jewish Week
NY Times' Push May 10, 2012
For Ultra-Orthodox in Abuse Cases, Prosecutor Has Different Rules(NYT)An influential rabbi came last summer to the Brooklyn district attorney, Charles J. Hynes,
with a message: his ultra-Orthodox advocacy group was instructing
adherent Jews that they could report allegations of child sexual abuse
to district attorneys or the police only if a rabbi first determined
that the suspicions were credible. The pronouncement was a blunt challenge to Mr. Hynes’s authority. But
the district attorney “expressed no opposition or objection,” the rabbi,
Chaim Dovid Zwiebel, recalled. On May 19, The New York Times's Public Editor Arthur Brisbane asked the question: What did The Times have to lose by crediting others? The NYT did not give any credit according to Brisbane to Hella Winston, a freelancer for The Jewish Week who is a fellow at the Schuster Institute who unloved most of the information in the NYT story.

Hynes attended Lopez’s picnic last summer at the Ridgewood-Bushwick

organization was under federal investigation. Not after he said at that event, “I know the difference between a crook and others. . . . So Vito is a good guy.”* Wright Replaces Lopez As Housing Chairman(YNN)

The Sad State of Good Government in 2013
Only the Mayor and CFB Try to Stop An Attempt by the Council and Quinn to Water Down NYC Public Funded Campaign Financed System and Transparency
Council Eases Finance Rules(WSJ)City Council Speaker Christine Quinn, facing accusations that
legislation she championed opened a "gaping loophole" in New York City's
campaign-finance system, backed off her proposal and oversaw the
passage of a watered-down bill Wednesday that reduced the reporting
requirements for unions, corporations and advocacy groups. Mayor Michael Bloomberg
had denounced the original version of the bill as a "terrible idea,"
and his office confirmed that the mayor opposed the modified version and
planned to veto it. The council is expected to override the mayor's
veto.* Critics of State's Campaign Finance Laws Seek Philanthropists' Help(NYT) * Advocates of overhauling New York’s campaign fund-raising laws met with 40 philanthropists in Manhattan today in an effort to enlist additional supporters as they ramp up their lobbying efforts.

Twenty Democrats voted “no” – including new Sen. George Latimer, who voted “yes” last year as an assemblyman.*
Jerry Goldfeder’s proposal to pay for publicly financed campaigns: Albany could set up a Democracy Trust Fund, to which individuals, corporations, nonprofits and unions would contribute. Temporary President and Republican Coalition Leader Dean Skelos threw some more cold water on public campaign financing on Capital Tonight last night. “Again, I think that public financing is not the way to go,” he argued. “I think when you explain to people, ‘Do you really … want to be paying for campaigns in New York City, primaries and general elections?’ I think many of them would say no….I think it’s an abuse. I think it is abused. We’ve seen in New York City where people have raised thousands and thousands of dollars when they have no race whatsoever.”
Goo Goos Fold On Redistricting Again Without A Punch
Yesterday evening, the State Senate passed
a bill to change the redistricting process in the State Constitution, a
change likely to go before New York voters in the near future. If in
effect, redistricting would be more bipartisan rather than more
nonpartisan, disappointing many good government advocates. GOP State Senator John DeFrancisco, making an argument he’s made before,
contended that it’s impossible to take politics out of the
redistricting process, or, as he phrased it, “politics out of politics.”“The public is quite clear that it expects redistricting to be a fair
and objective process in which electoral lines are adjusted to reflect
demographic changes in the census,” Common Cause’s Susan Lerner countered.
“Today, we are no closer to that ideal; if anything we have taken a
step away from it. The proposed constitutional amendment sets up a
hyper-partisan, expensive and ineffective structure for redistricting.
This is a system designed to fail, the safeguard for which, is control
of the maps defaulting to the Legislature. Ultimately, this is not an
independent process and the voters lose.”
