Democratic State Senator Pedro Espada Jr.—who was just caught illegally residing outside his Bronx district in tony Mamaroneck—is in the hot seat again for what one Bronx political veteran describes as doing "a cha-cha around the campaign finance law—spirit and letter." After the Daily News's scathing report on Espada's conduct, Senate majority leader Malcolm A. Smith called him into a closed-door meeting, giving Espada one week to rectify illegalities with his campaign committee. But Smith is also downplaying the severity of the brewing scandal, telling the Times, "I don't think it's raining problems, the fact that a member has a challenge with his campaign finances, which he's had for awhile. So basically, he's got to correct it. He has until this time next week to correct it, or else I will take some action." Woah—a promise of action in Albany!
As the Bronx DA looks into Espada's residency issue, State Attorney General Andrew Cuomo has launched an investigation into whether he illegally used a nonprofit group he controls—Soundview Health Clinic—to promote his political campaigns. And it's hardly the first such investigation into Espada's alleged malfeasance: In 2000, he was acquitted on charges of using $200,000 from a Soundview HMO to pay off a 1996 campaign debt, and in 2005, six Soundview employees were convicted of multiple counts of misusing the clinic's taxpayer funds to aid the campaigns of Espada and his son.
Yesterday, Espada met with the News for an interview "dressed in a pink shirt with monogrammed French cuffs, powder blue floral tie and matching pocket hankie," and dismissed Eliot Spitzer's previous investigation into his employees as a political hatchet-job: "Do you think for one minute that Mr. Steamroller was after these ladies? No! He was after me! And I was totally cleared!" Besides his suspicious use of the non-profit for his political campaign, the new complaints about Espada include his failure to pay the New York City Campaign Finance Board over $60,000 in fines for violations related to his 2001 Bronx Borough President campaign.
The CBS 2 HD reporter who broke the residency story by staking out Espada's $700,000 Westchester home dared approach the Senator yesterday and ask him about the money he owes the campaign finance board, to which he replied on camera, "You violate standards of decency. Are you proud of that?" Oh, and Cuomo is also investigating Assemblyman Peter Rivera for steering $1.3 million in taxpayer money to the non-profit group Neighborhood Enhancement for Training Services, where his son and top political aides worked. According to the News, it remains a mystery where the bulk of the public money went.

Yet another example of why people don't trust government. This is totally maddening.
Another bum.
Could the Albany Coup have anything to do with Judiciary Hearings that were going on at the time regarding public office corruption?
www.iviewit.tv/20090608nysjudiciaryhearing/index.htm .
The State Senate Judiciary Hearings chaired by Senator Sampson on June 8, 2009 had many witnesses in from around the country and in the case of Pam Carvel, across the Atlantic from England.
While many witnesses testified throughout the day until about 2:45 pm when Senator Sampson called a 15 minute adjournment to attend Senate Business upstairs, another Star witness in the proceedings who flew up from Boca Raton, Florida was one of the many who were cut off from testimony when a Senate staffer appeared shortly after 4 pm, over an hour after the scheduled time to resume, and informed the hearing room that there was a problem and the hearings would be cut off for the day.
Eliot I. Bernstein, the Original Inventor of Technologies heralded as the "Holy Grail" and worth a Trillion Dollars or more by Leading Experts and reviewed by Experts from Lockheed Martin, Intel Corporation, Silicon Graphis, Hassan Miah, and more, was one of the Witnesses not able to testify on June 8, 2009.
Mr. Bernstein's technologies are used on the Hubble Space Telescope, for a Massive amount of Defense Applications such as Flight Simulators, Weapons Delivery systems and more. Such technologies are also used across all Internet service providers involving video imaging, scaling and compression.
Mr. Bernstein, himself, was subjected to a CAR BOMBING of his Family Mini Van in Boynton Beach as he was in preparation for taking business matters involving the Technology to the United States Supreme Court. Full pictorial evidence of the Attempted Murder on the Bernstein family can be seen at www.iviewit.tv.
In the early 2000s, Investigation of Massive Fraud and Shell Companies and more involving Major International law firms and other parties lead to the Discovery of the ENRON Fraud and collapse caused in large part by the Enron Broadband division.
Since the early years, a SPECIAL AGENT of the FBI out of West Palm Beach investigating the "Iviewit" and Bernstein Affairs has gone according to H. Marshall Jarrett who was the head of the Office of Professional Responsibility of the FBI under the Bush years. Investigation of the matters by US DOJ Office of Inspector General Glen A. Fine continues.
The following is a Link to a Petition by Mr. Bernstein to current President Obama and AG Eric Holder. Mr. Bernstein's case has been marked "legally related" to the Federal Whistleblower case of Christine Anderson who is going to trial in the Southern District of New York before Judge Shira Scheindlin.
Confidential sources indicate the Iviewit matters tentacle to the Florida Election matters of 2000 and more.
Ellen Degeneres and Alanis Morrissette are among many of the Shareholders in Iviewit who have been denied royalties for years in the massive trillion dollar financial fraud making its way to New York.
