CBS 2 just conducted a scathing sting on State Senator Pedro Espada Jr., discovering that the powerful politician actually resides in tony Mamaroneck, outside his Bronx district. The exposé found that Espada's Westchester home is worth almost $700,000, and that while he claims his residence to be a co-op in the Bronx (at 325 East 201st Street), tenants there say he's never around. One resident tells the news channel, "I have never seen him in the building, not ever. I do my laundry in the building. I come and go with my 1-year-old. Unfortunately, I've never seen him here." Espada could be violating state election law by making Mamaroneck his home, and the revelation may further exacerbate New Yorkers' anger at the politician for his role in blocking any MTA bailout. A spokesman for the senator insisted that while he's owned the Mamaroneck house for 18 years, the Bronx co-op is his primary domicile. But when approached by a camera crew outside the Westchester home, Espada, ever the politician, tried to disguise his identity by holding a baby in front of his face.

Babies, good for blocking reporters!
What a douchebag.
Simple soultion to this. Resign. Next.
Yeah, it worked so well for Monseratte...
Maybe the mobs rousing against Wall Street can take time out of their busy day and head up to the Bronx to visit the nice Senator?
Given the choice I would rather live in Mamaroneck rather than the Bronx also.
You have to love these politicians. This revelation should wipe that smile off his fat face.
"Espada, ever the politician, tried to disguise his identity by holding a baby in front of his face."
Wow - echoes of The Dead Zone!
This douchebag isn't getting a Christmas card from the Geoelhs.
Brava to Marcia Kramer and her report! I said it once and I'll say it again. It's time for the New York media to name all the names of those State Senators who are blocking the MTA bailout. The people of New York deserve to know who they are, where they live and where they stand on the MTA bailout.
Totally agree with this. New York's history of filth-encrusted politics needs a major shake up.
this dickless POS is one of the democratic senators holding up gay marriage also
he sucks but do you blame him? who really wants to live in the bronx anyway?
What's wrong with the Bronx?
Never been to the Bronx have you? Yankee Stadium not withstanding.
How about it's time to flush out Albany? Every assembly and senator should get the ax.
Fuck you Pedro Espada you fucking scumbag.
excuse me?
for many people, the bronx is home. last time i checked, it's still one of the five boroughs and if you did your research, it has just as much history and culture as the other four.
you're probably one of those people who moves to whatever neighborhood is "in" right now. so please, take your snark somewhere else.
Agreed. No need to diss the Bronx. But these guys are definitely scumbags.
Don't blame the snarks, blame Senator Scumbag who's suppose to rep the Bronx but hates to live there and the Bronx peeps that keep voting for him.
Moments later, Senator Espada was witnessed consuming the baby, licking each of his fingers, and then enjoying the now-eaten baby's stash of candy.

At least he isn't living of off of the public dime in rent-controlled apartments like Rangel...
At least Rangel lives in all of the 16 rent stabilized apartment in Harlem.
Jeez, what a loser. He'd could have at lest been using the co-op to bang his Craigslist dates.

The news about Pedro Espada is so old but the highers up chose to ignore it even when it was reported. I guess now that Espada isn't playing ball with them they decided to let mainstream Media pick it up. It only confirms to me how mainstream media are the puppets of the rotten powers that be.

Shouldn't he be arrested like former San Francisco Supervisor Ed Jew? He lied about living in San Francisco while really living in the burbs like Espada and is now serving prison time. Espada should be thrown in jail.
