Nice work if you get it.This is a story that will fall through the cracks. I’m probably the only blogger on the Net talking about it. But, it’s worth highlighting if only to point out the cesspool that is the New York state legislature.
In Albany, both parties, the Democrats and the Republicans seen to be in competition to out sleaze each other. Both sides take money from public sector unions and each are not in a hurry to pass ethics reform.
New York Post reports that State Sen. Shirley Huntley likes to keep the campaign cash close to home.
Huntley's campaign committee paid her daughter $50,700 for three months of work on the Queens Democrat's 2010 re-election bid.
Pamala Corley raked in the money from July to September 2010 -- $1,000 as a consultant, $37,300 for wages, $10,000 for polling costs and $2,400 for office expenses. She got another $1,200 for office expenses in November 2010, campaign-finance reports show.
Huntley (pictured) and her ties to two nonprofits, including one run by her daughter, are the subject of an investigation by state Attorney General Eric Schneiderman, the Sunday Post revealed.
The US Attorney's Office in Brooklyn is also reviewing the case, according to a source familiar with that probe.

Shirley Huntley is far from the worse in the bunch. But, she typical of what passes for a NY politico these days.
Throw’em all out!
