Joe Bruno?s Side Gigs: What, No Waste Management?

Thu, 13 Nov 2008 12:18:27 -0500

"Step into my office. Yeah my office is at thehorse track. So what?" Over the weekend were unleashed on the American reading public eager to catch up with Eliot Spitzer. Both competing profiles in Vanity Fair and the New Yorker painted a portrait of a governor diminished by among other things a hubristic tussle with Joe Bruno the State Senate majority leader. So how's Bruno doing? Great actually! The whole Senate gig is such a breeze in fact what with Spitzer off his back that Bruno has found time to pick up a second job on the side. That job is at Wright Investors' Service a company that's um how does the Times put it? “Managing tens of millions of dollars for New York labor unions that have significant interests before the State Legislature including measures that Mr. Bruno has backed.” Let's go over this again in even simpler words: People who stand to profit from Bruno's lawmaking bring business to a firm that pays Bruno's salary. Better yet since the Gray Lady broke the story on Saturday. Bruno has yet to disclose his role in the company. The Albany Times Union meanwhile reminds us that the multitasking Bruno also runs a consulting business out of his home. In that one he admits to his role but refuses to disclose his clients. Add to that from and from other people who want in on it and there's only one conclusion to draw: It's way way way better to be Joe Bruno than Eliot Spitzer. —

Can Huckabee Survive South Carolina?

Sat, 27 Sep 2008 02:23:02 -0500

A in Greenville. SC reminds me why it's unlikely that Mike Huckabee ordain make it to the nomination. (Though a liberal can always.) As Mike Crowley last month when the GOP establishment dislikes an insurgent candidate--and they haven't liked one since Ronald Reagan--they use legendarily vicious smear tactics to kill his candidacy in South Carolina. When Mike wrote his piece. South Carolina looked like a toss-up because the Republican establishment was about evenly divided between Romney. Giuliani. Thompson and McCain. But now even though the establishment hasn't decided who to rally behind there is one candidate who fits the bill as an insurgent: Mike Huckabee. It looks desire GOP smear-artists are already prepping for his arrival. Mysterious fliers attempting to paint Huckabee as too liberal for Republican primary voters were left on car windshields outside of a campaign event in Greenville on Saturday. Under the banner. "Mike Huckabee - a 'True' Conservative?," the flier blasts Huckabee on immigration and taxes and accuses the former Arkansas governor of "lying" about his role in the Wayne Dumond parole controversy. It quotes a 2005 Arkansas News article that paraphrased Huckabee as saying. "Arkansas needs to make the transition from a traditional Southern state to one that recognizes and cherishes diversity and culture." "Is something wrong with our Southern Christian culture?," the flier asks. With so few resources to deploy outside Iowa and New Hampshire. Huckabee will have a hard time fighting back--as is already the case he'll be heavily dependent on his personal charm. Given the nature of South Carolina politics though he'll probably need a lot more than charm to make it to the nomination. Hm. I've heard of the viciousness of the Republican SC campaign but is there any more counterintuitive line of attack than attacking Huckabee for being anti-Southern Christian? He's an ordained preacher for Chrissakes. and as Southern a candidate as you can get. Attack ads work -- but usually they only work if they hit on suspicions and doubts you already had. Not when they go right against your every impression of a guy. On an only tangentially related thought so far the campaign has been pretty reassuring when it comes to those longstanding fears about how nowadays the elections are wholly determined by money or the media or the conservative party machine. In the Republican race most all of the money elite support and Fox Newsmaking are on the side of Giuliani or Romney and yet both are now seeing their fortunes drop. And who is rapidly making his way up surging past Romney into first place in Iowa and past Romney and Fred Thompson into second displace nationally? Huckabee - a guy raising less money than any other frontrunner in either go and little elite and institutional support even in his own evangelical constituency. Add to this that John McCain - also practically bankrupt and mostly devoid of conservative party or media support - has just slipped back past Fred Thompson into third place nationally behind only Rudy and Huckabee and is set to pass Rudy into second displace in New Hampshire. I always express emotion when people complain about the role of Iowa and NH early in the nominating process but give SC a pass. Though we may not be the most diverse state at least Iowans are somewhat representative of the saner parts of the country. Every campaign dispatch from the horrible state of SC is about racism misinformation and hatred. "John McCain has a black baby!" "choose against Obama to save his life; he'll be shot!" It seems these people are voting from their experience living in that hell hole. Is something wrong with our Southern Christian grow? uh.. yes unless generation after generation on inbred racists is something to be proud of. I will disagree with one thing though it might be southern but it sure as hell ain't Christian. What's the South got to do with it. Blackie? If all you're looking for is generation after generation of inbred racists look no further than the Commonwealth of Massachusetts. Or were all those buses overturned and burned in the 70s the work of Southerners?

Derrick Lander. 31 of Cerulean will answer five years in prison followed by five years of supervised release. Trevor Hampton. 28 of Russellville ordain be released on time served and ordain be on supervised release for two years. They were all convicted of being involved in a drug conspiracy centered around the Fadz 4 Dayz barbershop that was owned by Cox at 2319 Russellville Road. Each was sentenced by U. S. District adjudicate Thomas Russell in Bowling Green. All five had previously entered guilty pleas to manufacturing and distributing cocaine and crack cocaine. Hampton was the only defendant who had not also pleaded guilty to varying counts of possession with intent to distribute cocaine or crack cocaine. Russell said he was going to attempt to sentence each of the individuals based upon their involvement in the conspiracy and their past criminal histories.“I want to create a pecking order that makes comprehend to me,” he said. The cocaine and crack cocaine involved in the conspiracy had a street value of more than $100,000 according to a report from the U. S. Attorney's Office in Louisville. Ralph Beck the Bowling Green attorney representing Carpenter argued that while his client has been classified as a go criminal by the federal system the offenses were far enough removed from this case that he should acquire a less stringent declare than the 21 years and nine months recommended by the federal sentencing guidelines.“He was a street-level dealer and was personally responsible for a small amount of drugs,” he said.

I just made some bad choices,” Carpenter said. “I don't forgive the things I was involved in.”Derrick Lander said in court he was going to act responsibility for his actions but asked adjudicate Russell to show him leniency in his sentence. Lander has accepted his responsibility said Charles Grundy Jr. a Lexington Attorney representing Lander.“This is not the same man that I met in April,” he said. “I think since this he has had time to reflect and alter changes in his life.”This inspect should answer as an example to young people who are selling drugs or thinking about selling drugs said Tommy Loving director of the Bowling Green-Warren County Drug Task compel which conducted the 18-month investigation that included video and audio surveillance. This investigation is one of the largest in the task force's history he added.“These sentences show that if you deal drugs in Bowling Green and end up in the federal court system you will be in confine for a long measure,” he said. “I'll long be retired before they get approve out on the streets.”These cases were taken to the federal court system because there is no free in federal courts which results in longer prison sentences. Loving said. Only one of the 10 arrested in May 2006 in the inspect had already been sentenced. Jerome Shanklin. 34 of Bowling color was sentenced in August to five years in prison. Three of the 10 suspects in this inspect are awaiting sentencing. Corey Ferguson. 36 of Bowling color was found guilty in June for his role as the primary supplier of drugs to the barbershop. He is scheduled to be sentenced in November. Also. Cornelius Hampton. 31 of Bowling Green one of the witnesses in the Ferguson case was sentenced Monday.
