Federal prosecutors have begun presenting evidence to a grand jury considering a case against the leader of the New York State Senate, Dean G. Skelos of Long Island, and his son, according to people with knowledge of the matter.
Investigators have served a number of subpoenas in recent weeks, including several to state senators on Long Island, and federal prosecutors have interviewed people who have had dealings with Adam Skelos, the Republican senator’s son.
News of the investigation follows the arrest this year of Assemblyman Sheldon Silver, a Manhattan Democrat, and his resignation as speaker; any criminal case against Senator Skelos, the majority leader, would throw the Capitol into further tumult.
So raise your hand if you think this actions dangers our Democracy.
As I have said on many occasions, the involvement of government in business presents much more temptation to the participants than are their benefits to society. If you actually broke that link a good majority of incumbents would actually go home and get a real job… that is if they were qualified for anything other than influence peddling… P.S…. Representative Republic (not that they do that very well either)
