What made you think NY is any better than the rest of the country? Just cause we have AOC? Lotta people=lot of fuckers.
i know every place has its scumbags, i've just noticed a lot of these articles about NY in the last couple weeks
Yeah, cause New York actually puts a lot of these people on trial rather than letting them get away with it
Sureeeeeeeeee
Hey, they aren't perfect, but putting even a single politician on trial for crimes and convicting them makes them better than 99% of the United States.
A lady around my area stole almost 200k from youth soccer over 4 years. She got time served and 100 hours community service, which she was allowed to complete at her husband's business.
Another politician stole thousands from the city, claiming it was for "previously unpaid bonuses". He didn't even get charged or step down. He's still in office to this day (not my district, can't really do much cause it's all super rich mother fuckers who love him)
the same that's been going on for a very long time, it seems something is finally happening about it however

chicken tenders
metal and bone
😬 I don't understand how these four thought this could work.
Metal and bone.
Metal and bone.
Mean so much more when i see.
Metal and bone decorations.
On ev’ry Christmas tree.
I bet he would have gotten away with it if he used cash and not tainted chicken as a bribe.
I was curious to see how large the bribe is, but I didn't see it in the article. Does anyone know?
There's a lot ..
The owners promised tens of thousands of dollars to the official, Eric Goldstein, along with control of a second food provider called Range Meats Supply Company, prosecutors said.
(Goldstein's) 20 percent share in Range Meats was kept hidden, prosecutors said.
In the fall of 2015, for instance, prosecutors said, the Somma owners were frustrated that their yogurt parfait and drumsticks were not scheduled to be served until the spring of 2016. Mr. Iler arranged to send $20,000 from a Somma bank account to a Range Meats account, then directed that $7,000 be transferred from the Range Meats account to a lawyer who had handled a divorce for Mr. Goldstein, prosecutors said. Soon after, prosecutors said, the Somma yogurt parfait was “fast-tracked.” Students started consuming it in December 2015.
Somma’s chicken tenders were also fast-tracked, prosecutors said, after Mr. Iler sent $3,000 from Range Meats to a bank account belonging to Mr. Goldstein’s father.
Later, after the reports of foreign objects and choking, Somma asked to substitute drumsticks while SchoolFood weighed the fate of its chicken tenders. Investigators said that Mr. Goldstein used his influence to delay SchoolFood’s response while he negotiated with the company’s owners over Range Meats. After weeks of back and forth, Mr. Iler, Mr. Turley and Mr. Twomey agreed to transfer Somma’s 60 percent interest in Range Meats to Mr. Goldstein and wire nearly $67,000 to a bank account he controlled.
Hw bribed a tainted chicken? Or he tainted a bribed chicken?
Was anyone injured or killed?
