Indicting Hevesi?
October 19th, 2006
The scandal involving New York State Comptroller Alan Hevesi’s use of a chauffeur for his wife at taxpayer expense has earned him an entry in Corruption Chronicles, a blog from Judicial Watch, which defines itself as “a conservative, non-partisan educational foundation.” It has inspired a new blog devoted exclusively to the scandal, called Hevesi Watch. What it hasn’t yet achieved is an indictment.
This could happen. David Soares, the district attorney for Albany, has said he is investigating. An editorial in the New York Post, no fan of Hevesi, puts its view succinctly: “Hevesi should be indicted - or cleared - before Election Day.”
A spokeswoman for Soares, Rachel McEneny, told Azi Paybarah at
The Politicker: “We will not be brought into political theater, and we are not going to follow the electoral time line that Mr. Callaghan [Hevesi’s opponent in the race for comptroller] or any other parties would like us to follow.”
