Since Hinchey wants to speculate, has anyone heard the rumor that Hinchy has a "secret" interest in a construction company that tends to get a lot of work on Federal, State, and/or municipal projects within his district, and that Hinchey uses his political weight to ensure that the construction company gets plenty of work and is always paid on time?
Well, given that Hinchey is a Member of Congress and Members of Congress have been known to do such things in the past, I think it is only reasonable to speculate that, given his position, it is certainly possible that Mr. Hinchey may have been doing what you have described.
Or not. Who knows?
Hinchey and Weasley Clark.......perfect together.......graduates of the michaelmoore school of disinformation.
