Veteran Assemblyman Anthony Seminerio was indicted for fraud yesterday after plea negotiations in his corruption case apparently broke down.
The Manhattan federal court indictment boosted to $1 million the amount of cash the Queens Democrat is charged with collecting through an eight-year, influence-peddling scheme.
In early September, federal authorities charged that Seminerio pocketed money in exchange for access to Albany lawmakers.
Payments allegedly went to a bogus consulting outfit linked to the Assemblyman.

Will he resign or will he just be allowed to “phone it in”.

So is Fraud Rap like Gangsta' Rap?
