Dysfunction BOE Whose Only Passing Grade is in Corruption Comes Up With Rube Goldberg to Count the Runoff

___________________________________________________________________________________
Board of Election Plan B

BOE Math Failure and Nobody in A City of 8 Million Notices
The BOE which took over three months to count just the paper ballots in the 2012 elections. Now has a plan to count all the votes in a citywide runoff, which will have hundreds of thousands more votes, in less than 2 weeks.  It is one thing to count the 2012 results where nobody but the BOE cares about to cover their asses and get the job done.  It is quite another standard to count a primary which if close will end up in court. A court ordered recount will take weeks if not months, as candidates fight over the meaning of each ballot.

120 Days After the 2012 Election the BOE Found More Votes

There are only 14 days between the mayoral primary and runoff The New York City Board of Elections approved a contingency plan for potential runoff elections in the three citywide primary races, with plans to use new electronic voting machines but also print ballots before the results are official Board Of Elections Approves Contingency Plan For Potential Mayoral Primary Runoff Election(NY1)

Political Corruption

 Carrión's Illegal Cash Money
While serving as Bronx borough president, New York City mayoral candidate Adolfo Carrión created a political fund that regularly made large cash disbursements without specifying what the money was for, a violation of state election law
Adolfo Carrion's mayoral campaign hits new snag as improprieties with borough president war chest discovered(NYDN) Money from Carrion's campaign fund during his days as Bronx borough president have expenditures that are unaccounted for, the News has learned.
City Board of Elections spokesman says BXNY PAC may have violated laws that forbid political committees from distributing more than $100 in cash and for not detailing the purpose of spending over $50. Records show there were $15,800 in unspecificed cash payments.  The existence of the political committee, BXNY PAC, was not widely known until now. It received $172,000 in contributions, mostly from developers and other business interests with dealings in the Bronx, records show. Carrion’s committee made cash payments of $500 — $15,800 in all — but didn’t specify what the money was for, records obtained by The News show.

   
Asked Adolfo Carrion if I could ask him about Daily News article. Reply:" "You cannot."

MCDONALD’S LONG SHOT CHALLENGE (City and State) Mayoral candidate George McDonald’s challenge to New York City’s campaign finance laws is not strong, but the potential consequences are serious, writes attorney Janos Marton: 

Catsimatidis Puts on A Play
Billionaire GOP mayoral hopeful John Catsimatidis is paying for 10 performances of Tony Lo Bianco’s acclaimed one-man show about former Mayor Fiorello LaGuardia — and giving away the tickets for free.* NYC Republican Mayoral Hopeful John Catsimatidis Spending Big On "The Little Flower"(NYDN)

“Listen, I once made a landing by myself, with one engine out. I was alone. I don’t like being alone. But I don’t sweat. Other candidates did 10 times worse things than I’ve done. Make my day. Let them go after me,” the latest mayoral hopeful, John Catsimatidis, said during his session with the New York Post‘s Cindy Adams. “I’ve never said no to anybody. I’m 64. A New York Republicrat who wants the next century’s kids to believe in heroes again.”

Gaming out the Dem chairs in mayor's race(CrainsNY)"District leaders were once the most [powerful] controllers of all political activity and patronage in their geographic areas," he said via email. "Now they are important in smaller races and as votes to keep county leaders in power. Thus, allowing district leaders to [make] their own decisions makes dissension and actions of rebellion against county leaders less likely."

Biggest difference in last 25 yrs is lack of transparency w/ dept. of finance * The way property assessments are done is opaque and backwards, Lhota says.

(Taking a page from the playbook?)* supports East midtown rezoning and would continue it if Mayor * Tom Allon said it's "long overdue" for city to address unfairness in NYC real estate tax code. McDonald goes on to say he'd push for 75000 new "microunits" of housing. Also says there are older people who have more space than needed.

 Another NY1 Puff Interview of Adams

NY1 Online: Adams Touts Record For Brooklyn B.P.(NY1)
“My focus is quality of life,” Eric Adams said. “I believe in that concept. So we can’t merely focus on building tall buildings and stadiums without building the people and giving people the resources.” Nevertheless, he added, “What I would like to do with the office is continue what Marty Markowitz has done.”


A Blogger Very Different View of Adams Past

Gatemouth dropped a large amount of opposition research against State Senator Eric Adams, who is campaigning for Brooklyn borough president. Among the items chronicled are  Mr. Adams’ racially-charged, Nation of Islam-backed campaign for Congress, his criticism of Hispanic politician for marrying a non-Hispanic wife, a sojourn into the Republican Party and, more recently, his defense of former  Senator Hiram Monserrate when he was accused of assaulting his girlfriend.

City Council Redistricting

 We Will Never Know All the Council Redistricting Deals Made By Team Quinn With Party Leaders, Candidates and Ethnic Groups to Gain Support for Her Mayoral Campaign

City Submits Plan for Redistricting(WSJ)The New York City Districting Commission submitted on Tuesday a final plan to the city clerk to redraw the 51 council districts following the 2010 census, three months after withdrawing its first attempt following criticism that it was politically motivated, unfair to minority voters, and, in one case, beneficial to a Brooklyn assemblyman accused of sexually harassing staff members. The U.S. Department of Justice must still review the plan to ensure it adheres with the Voting Rights Act. If approved, the newly drawn districts will be used for the first time in the September municipal primary.

Assembly Passes $9 Minimum Wage Skelos Calls it A One House Bill
Assembly votes to raise minimum wage to $9 an hour(NYDN) Assembly Democrats passed a bill yesterday that would raise the state’s minimum wage from $7.25 to $9, although its passage was interpreted as a political statement because the bill’s fate rests with the state Senate, the Times-Union writes:
A report issued by state Comptroller Tom DiNapoli showed that New York’s public authorities have amassed $244 billion in debt, including $58 billion in bonds issued on behalf of the state government, the Times-Union writes: * The Assembly passed a one-house bill to raise the minimum wage that was more of a political statement than anything else, since it’s DOA in the Senate. (Senate GOP Leader Dean Skelos called the measure “counterproductive”).* Assembly passes minimum wage hike, but Sen. Dean Skelos worried about hurting young workers(City and State)

Fracking
Assembly Democrats are expected to pass a two-year moratorium on hydraulic fracturing natural gas drilling today, similar to a bill passed by the Assembly last year, though this bill specifically bans drilling in the Utica and Marcellus shale, the Rochester Democrat and Chronicle reports: * Today, the Assembly Democrats are expected to pass a two-year hydrofracking moratorium – the second time in two years that the chamber has sought to block the controversial drilling practice. The bill specifically would prohibit the state from issuing permits to drill in the Utica and Marcellus. The IDC put forth a proposal yesterday that would ban fracking until three key public health impact studies are complete. A Food & Water Watch organizer and Citizen Action official write: “Democrats across the country are watching to see what Cuomo will do. By rejecting fracking in New York, Cuomo would be seen as an undaunted progressive leader, distinguishing himself from many Democrats who submit to the whims of the oil and gas industry.”Assembly Speaker Sheldon Silver and other Democrats say they will pass a fracking moratorium today*  Assembly approves two year ban on hydrofracking(YNN) * The Assembly Fracking Ban Vote(YNN) * “If Albany decided today to move forward with natural gas development, would rigs leave Pennsylvania, Ohio, Texas, North Dakota? Not likely.”


School Tax Relief

A Bronx cheer(NYP Ed) The Bronx has got to be the absolute best place in the city to live — if you’re a criminal.Takia Walker must surely be glad she lives there. Walker was nabbed for insurance fraud Sunday. Cops had hoped her arrest would spur her to help them find Julio Acevedo; he’s the guy who drove the BMW in the crash Sunday that took the lives of Nachman and Raizel Glauber and, a day later, their baby son — who was born as his mother was dying. Cops say she registered the car. Yet, within a day, Bronx DA Robert Johnson dropped the case, “deferring” prosecution against Walker and demanding more evidence. Quick as a wink, Walker was on the street. Great for Walker.
