Frequent-Flying Senator Pays After a Challenge by a Rival ("Charter Chuck.")
NYTimes ^ | June 24, 2004 | MICHAEL SLACKMAN

Posted on 06/24/2004 6:55:13 AM PDT by anita

Mr. Schumer chartered private planes 603 times, spending $409,253 of taxpayer money. They asserted that they had caught the senator using tax dollars to fly around the state to raise campaign cash, which would be illegal, and turned their findings over to The New York Times.

Mrs. F. once discouraged Chuckie from sitting next to her on a DC-to-NYC flight.

Must have stuck in the craw of the NYT to print this - but they did try and minimize it...

Is that a big deal? Arlin Spector took a European tour (vacation) on tax $ and not too much fuss about that. Bill Clinton, his friends and family traveled the world for 8 years on tax $, no fuss about that. Didn't John Sinunu get fired for using military aircraft to make a golf game in up state NY?

Typical Rat tactic. Take illegal money or get caught stealing form the taxpayers and give the money back (sometimes YEARS later) and then claim that there was nothing illegal at all, only "questionable".

Lord, I despise Rats.

What's worse is that Chucky Cheese will claim it as an expense on his tax return and get most of it back.

We need a strong person to compliment Guiliani and take back NY.
