True News Has Confirmed From A Current Top Executive That BOE warehouse employee Phil Ragusa the nephew of the Queens GOP leader is on the payroll of ESS as A Paid Consultant.
New Yorker's Were Prevented From or Had A Hard Time Voting Because of A Corrupt Contract
The BOE purchased the scanners and a maintence contract from ES&S that every New Yorkers now knows cannot do the job of allowing voters to vote and counting them.
True News Has Found Out Some of Those Responsible for NYC Inability to Count Its Votes
Pay to Play BOE's Lemon Contract
According
to True News tipster Phil Ragusa has been paid over 50,000 from
ES&S last year in a two month period. That means that nephew
Ragusa was paid from the same voting machine vendor that his
grandfather's BOE commission approved after a battle of the lobbyists
for which machine the BOE would buy. Nephew Ragusa was paid $1800 by a
day by ES&S at the same time we was on the BOE payroll. On one 4
day pay period nephew Ragusa was paid over $9000 for 4 days work on
and hourly rate that would have taken two weeks to reach the $9000 bill,
True News Has Also Learned
Grandson Phil Ragusa lives in Long Island and use his father address in Queens to quality for the BOE job. According to True News Tipster the address used is his father's Biagio Ragusa. Who retired in 2012 after 20 years of service at the Queens warehouse, and his son, Phil, ended up getting that job. Vendor kickbacks could be common at the BOE There are also reports of other BOE vendors hiring BOE employees. One of the vendor who was advising the BOE on how to use the failed scanning machines was Gartner who is also in the middle of the city as an advisor in the city's failed 911 system and the corrupt CityTime project* NYC Board Of Elections: Inquests & Invoices(NYDN)
Media and Political Cover Up Of Corruption At the BOE At the Same Time They Ask to Go Back to the Old Machines
As the Daily News and Pols Push for Going Back to the old lever machines nobody only True News has investigated how we wound up with the scanners who cannot do the job for NYC. In addition for pushing for new machines everyone should be asking to an investigation on payoff were more important than ability to do the job were more important in the selection of the city's voting system that we are stuck with! * City Board of Elections Mulls Lever Machines for Upcoming Vote(WNYC)* Pull the levers of power (NYDN Ed)* Billion-dollar ballots(NYDN Ed) * New York Elections Need a Makeover(NY Mag) * Madness of the machines(NYDN Ed)

The Problem is the People Who Have Been Fighting the BOE For Years . . . Have Become Quiet
Instead of using the BOE's commissioners appointment Fuck Up to force changes, the media and reforms remain silent to allow the corrupt party leaders to cover their tracks and fix the problems
For Years The NYT, Daily News, NYP, Mayors and Reform Politicians Have Been Demanding Changes At the Board of Elections. Now in Spite of the 2012 Election Day Disaster and the BOE Commissioner Appointment Scandal They Remain Silent. Could it be they really want the party leaders in control and the corruption at the BOE to continue.

For months True News has shown the incompetency and corruption of the BOE over and over. Last November New Yorkers waiting in long lines caused by scaners that broke and lack of staffing at the polls caused by the board incomptent managers understood just how messed up the BOE is. But thier leaders have not step up to demand change. Instead they remain erie silent. This cover up has continue even after a commission coup de tar by lead by Councilman Eric Ulrich.

NYP Elect A Jerk
The city needs a jerk(NYP) Mayoral wannabes too nice? The moderator of a Republican mayoral debate, smug as a bug in a rug,
leveled the charge last week — provoking a sharp intake of breath in
the room, but also laying a finger on a real problem with this year’s
crop of candidates. They’re too damned nice. The thing is, to paraphrase the late Ed Koch-look-alike chicken farmer
Frank Perdue, it takes a tough mayor to make — and to maintain — a
tender city.* The Post’s Bob McManus alludes to

Lhota taps college, work pals for campaign funds(NYDN) Republican New York City mayoral
candidate Joe Lhota is traveling to the Washington, D.C. area for a
fundraiser this week where he could potentially rake in tens of
thousands of dollars thanks to a network of well-heeled donors* Joe Lhota Isn't Worried About Losing Support on Staten Island(NYO) The previous head of the Staten Island GOP, Bob Scamardella, said he’d probably endorse Mr. Lhota but surprisingly stepped down at the end of February. Though the party has been plagued by infighting, it appears they have settled on a new leader: former community board chairman John Antoniello. According to the Staten Island Advance, Mr. Antoniello was an ally of disgraced former Congressman Vito Fossella, who endorsed one of Mr. Lhota’s rivals, billionaire John Catsimatidis, for mayor. Mr. Lhota said he was unconcerned by the development.
Former Gov. George Pataki appears poised to endorse supermarket/oil mogul John Catsimatidis’ quest to be the next mayor of NYC. The Brooklyn GOP, which was once in Adolfo Carrion’s corner, is leaning heavily toward backing John Catsimatidis for NYC mayor.

Cuomo's Budget
Pushing for A Fast Budget to Pump Up His Poll Numbers
The state budget could be the smoothest in 30 years, cruising to passage before the Passover and Easter holidays at the end of the month – but thorny policy and spending issues remain unresolved(City and State) * The Times-Union argues that the State Legislature and Cuomo should concentrate on passing the budget, and settle all external legislative battles separately:
New York is Not the Only Thing He is Trying to Rise With A Early Budget
According to the latest Siena College poll, Gov. Cuomo continues to maintain a better than two-to-one favorability rating at 64 percent approval, and 61 percent of voters support the state’s new gun law, down from 65 percent last month * Governor Andrew Cuomo‘s popularity hit a new low in the latest Siena poll, released this morning. Nevertheless, his favorability numbers are still a very respectable 64-to-30 that pollster Steve Greenberg called “the envy of most elected officials or politicians.” Mr. Greenberg cautiously added, “However, the governor’s job performance rating and his ‘re-elect’ number have also fallen by high single digits over the last couple of months.”
NYP Asks Cuomo Who is Pushing for Public Financing to Also Push for Term Limits
The reform pols hate(NYP Ed)Gov. Cuomo is pulling out all the stops to promote his ideas for
campaign finance. That includes holding a “telephone town hall” tonight
on the issue with the folks from Fair Elections for New York. As
first articulated in his State of the State, the governor’s general idea
of state campaign finance seems to be to follow the lead of New York
City. That is, to impose stricter limits on what candidates can raise or
spend, and to use matching public funds to fund more campaigns. Here’s
our question: So long as the city is a model, why no mention of the one
big limit on city politicians that doesn’t exist at the state level —
term limits? Early Voting Bills
While the Early Voting Act pending in both houses of the state Legislature could allow residents to vote up to 14 days before Election Day, some local officials argue that the convenience will come at a cost.

Dicker On Fracking Delay Cuomo Cover
State Senate Democrats and Republicans are claiming that Gov. Cuomo helped members of the Independent Democratic Conference draft a bill delaying a decision on hydraulic fracturing gas drilling through his re-election next year,
Gov just fracking around, pols say(Dicker, NYP)Senior state lawmakers and top legislative staff are claiming Gov. Cuomo secretly encouraged last week’s efforts to pass a law blocking hydrofracking upstate. Several officials, along with leaders of landowner organizations in the gas-rich areas of the poverty-riddled Southern Tier and even some gas-industry executives, told The Post they believe Cuomo wants the ban as a “cover’’ to delay his decision on the controversial natural-gas drilling through his re-election campaign next year.* Skelos says IDC's fracking bill is "unnecessary" * Gov. Andrew Cuomo criticized the strategy employed by groups who favor fracking, saying their lobbyists should spend more time educating the public and less time focused on “hallway chatter.”* Senate GOP Leader Dean Skelos called the fracking moratorium proposed by the IDC “unnecessary.” * More celebs against fracking.

Guns
The SAFE Act has sparked a “stampede” of weapons purchases in New York, which is exactly what Cuomo said he wanted to avoid by pushing the measure through the Legislature so quickly. The real problem, according to law enforcement – and one not addressed by the SAFE Act – is the flow of illegal guns into the state.
