This story from the New York Times provides an update on the latest news from the trial of Bronx Councilman Larry Seabrook. Yesterday the trial's guest witness was Bronx County's most politically connected lawyer Stanely Schlein. Schlein is a consultant for the Yankees and was called to testify about Seabrook's lobbying efforts on behalf of a Bronx boiler company looking to do business with the Yankees. All interesting inside baseball for you political junkies.
I don't oftemn read your blog but its refreshing and you do make alot of sense ... so bravo Bx Pol Chatter!
ReplyDeleteGuys like Stanley represent everything that is wrong with politics in this city. He has never been elected to anything yet he holds so much influence and sway over what goes on in our borough. I don't mean to imply that he is corrupt but he symbolizes the underlying inherent corrupt nature of city government - where who you know is all that matters.
