DIRTY DEMS KICKED OUT OF OFFICE Naomi Rivera and Shirley Huntley get the boot in Dem primaries

Queens state Sen. Shirley Huntley was indicted Aug. 27 charged w/ falsifying documents to conceal govt fraus---her niece and and aide aide allegedly siphoned $30,000 from Huntley's sham tax-funded non-profit.

Rivera gave two boy toys tax-funded jobs at a do-nothing non-profit to which she funnelled govt funds. Anothr was ensconced as a "full-timer" in her Assembly office while paid $90,000 as a full-time public-school teacher. Four investigative agencies are probing Rivera’s hiring practices. Rivera even lost in latino precincts once considered her strongholds.

The politically-connected Bronx Rivera family are a passel of govt parasites leeching off taxpayers in elected office and high-paid govt jobs....financing schemes to get vote-crazed pols illegal latino votes.

Rivera (D-Bronx) stands accused of using her tax-funded nonprofit as a personal ATM, establishing a pattern of racketeering, conspiracy and collusion.

Rivera calculatedly used the non-profit: (1) to wine, dine and weekend w/ her lovers, (2) to bed down w/ tax-paid employees, (3) to give non-profit monies to her son and other relatives, and, (4) to illegally siphon off tax-free non-profit tax revenue for her election campaigns.

Rivera steered hundreds of thousands of tax dollars ostensibly to "help the poor" in the poverty-stricken Bronx slum---to the non-profit Bronx Council for Economic Development, controlled and funded by the Rivera crime family.

From all the investigative reporting to date, we know the Rivera family is a collusive, tight-knit coterie of political operatives in the crime-laced latino uderworld.

Naomi's son GianCarlo Fret, 29, raked in tens of thousands of tax dollars in non-profit jobs----and pocketed suspiciously odd amounts from non-profit coffers that appear to be supporting a "habit."

Giancarlo was a $22,335 “student assistant” at the NY Dept of State in 2008 and part of 2009.

At that time, the NY State Dept was run by Lorraine Cortez-Vazquez, a former president of the Bronx-based non-profit Hispanic Federation. The non-profit Federation scored an astounding $22 million in public funds (what they admit to). Cortez-Vasquez was also a board member of Naomi's non-profit---the do-nothing Bronx Council for Economic Development.

Naomi Rivera paid-off her son's live-in girlfriend, Ebony Rubio; Rivera hired Rubio as a "constituent liaison" in her tax-funded legislative office, paying Rubio up to $27,063 a year between 2008 and 2010, records show.

Rubio also got a suspicious-sounding $700 in 2007 from Rivera’s campaign war-chest and another $60 in 2008 from the Democrat party’s treasury controlled by Naomi's father, Jose Rivera (also a state legislator and Dem party boss).

State legislator Jose Rivera gave his grandson an odd-sounding $1,675 in "consulting" fees between June and July from the non-profit Bronx Democratic Trustees Committee, controlled by Jose Rivera.

Giancarlo also got a financial windfall as a $10.34 an hour “temporary clerk” at the non-profit Bronx Board of Elections from 2004 to 2005; his uncle, Naomi's brother, Joel, is married to Valerie Vazquez, director of communications and public affairs for the non-profit NYC Board of Elections.

Brother Rodney Rivera declared bankruptcy but continued to work for the Nassau County Executive’s Office — with a salary hike to $62,400 — until the end of January 2007. He then got a job with the county’s Office of Housing and Intergovernmental Affairs. In September that year, he got a $65,000-a-year job gathering newspaper clippings for the state Senate’s Democratic Conference but was fired in April 2010.

Rodney now works as special assistant for the state’s Dept of Environmental Conservation,

Another brother Joel, 27, is the majority leader of the New York City Council and the chairman of the council’s Health Committee.

Mother Blanche Rivera is the district manager of Community Board 6 in the Bronx.

Father Jose Rivera is a state assemblyman, representing District 78 in the Bronx, and was once Bronx Democratic Party chairman.

Brother Rodney Rivera lied in bankruptcy filing, records show. Rodney lied, he told the federal government he was flat broke and jobless when he filed for bankruptcy in 2004 — even though he had a $46,000-a-year, taxpayer-funded govt job with Nassau County, according to public records.

In his June 14, 2004, Chapter 7 filing, Rodney Rivera was deeply in debtand looking to wipe out $25,398--consumer debt that stuck the rest of with his bills. Rodney falsified federal documents, and lied to bankruptcy court, stating he was “unemployed. He checked “none” on a form where debtors are required to list gross income earned for the two years prior to the filing. Using his political connections, three months earlier, Rivera, 42, had landed a govt job, records show.

On March 15, 2004, Rivera was making $48,000-a-year as assistant to the Director of Constituent Affairs in then-County Executive Tom Suozzi’s office, according to records obtained by media.

Rivera — whose sex-starved, scandal-scarred sister, Naomi, is under investigation by federal, state and city authorities is suspected of misusing public funds. Rodney could be prosecuted for committing several felonies by deliberately making false statements or omitting crucial financial information in bankruptcy papers.

In his bankruptcy filing, the married father of three claimed to live a stunningly economical life, with no monthly living expenses — no rent, mortgage, utility, phone, medical, dental, transportation, insurance or clothing costs.

His only monthly financial obligation, Rivera claimed, was a $350 car payment. His only asset, he declared, was $500 in clothing.

Rodney Rivera’s wife, Jessica Letterel-Rivera, filed her own individual petition the same day as her husband, to get out from under $25,841 in consumer debt. She, too, claimed to be broke and unemployed, with no assets and no income for at least 2 1/2 years. She listed her monthly expenses as $250 for electricity and heat, $98 for her home phone, $52 for a cellphone, $1,000 for food and $630 for her car and auto insurance.

The couple’s Elmont, LI, home is owned by Rivera parents---his politically powerful dad, state Assemblyman José Rivera, and his mother, Blanche, district manager of Community Board 6 in the Bronx. Between the two filings, the couple listed $51,239 in debt. Both claimed to have no cash, nothing in the bank, no retirement or investment funds and no furniture, computers or other household items.

Rodney Rivera owed nearly $5,000 to Sam Ash and another music store, $14,000 on a Mitsubishi car loan and more than $6,000 to Discover and another credit card for “consumer goods.” His wife’s debts included nearly $10,500 to Discover, $4,400 to another credit card, $7,700 to Mitsubishi, $126 to BP/Amoco and $71 to America Online. Both bankruptcies went through in October 2004.

Rodney Rivera continued to work for the Nassau County Executive’s Office — with a salary hike to $62,400 — until the end of January 2007, records show, when he then got a job with the county’s Office of Housing and Intergovernmental Affairs. In September that year, he got a $65,000-a-year job gathering newspaper clippings for the state Senate’s Democratic Conference but was fired in April 2010.

Rodney now works as special assistant for the state’s Dept of Environmental Conservation, raking in a $74,000 salary. Neither he nor his bankruptcy lawyer, Nancy Martorelli, returned media calls.

Politically ambitious Cuomo is gonna make sounds like he's hot on the trail to clean up the Albany cesspool......... but Andy will pitch a couplae softballs----b/c all thec crooks know where his dirty laundry is buried.

You got that right.

REFERENCE Cuomo's Social Engineering as HUD Chief Contributed to Subprime Crisis / originally published on Examiner.com

Have those New Yorkers, residents of one of the highest taxed states in the union, voting for Andrew Cuomo to be their next governor allowed their ideology to trump sound reasoning? As many Americans across this great land continue to struggle with the loss of their homes, savings and retirement resources, those that were complicit in not regulating the government sponsored enterprises (GSEs) in the second market namely Fannie Mae and Freddie Mac causing the subprime loans to detonate are jockeying for power.

Sadly, we are giving those same culprits the honor of office through our votes. Note: the use of the term 'we' and 'our' is a reference to the electorate and not suggestive of the voting record of the author.

In 1993 President Bill Clinton appointed Andrew Cuomo to the Department of Housing and Urban Development (HUD) as Assistant Secretary. In 1997 Cuomo took over as HUD chief replacing Clinton appointee Henry Cisneros. During Cisneros tenure he championed Clinton's goal of social engineering within the housing market forcing lenders to issue loans to those that would not financially qualify for the lending.

Cisneros left office in a scandal involving lying to the FBI over payouts to a mistress, Cisneros subsequently pleaded guilty to a misdemeanor and though never sent to prison received a pardon from Bill Clinton in 2001.

Andrew Cuomo took the HUD reins and not only furthered Cisneros and Clinton's policies but greatly expanded them.

Henry Cisneros moved the GSEs toward a requirement that 42 percent of their mortgages serve low and moderate income families. Andrew Cuomo raised that number to 50 percent and dramatically hiked GSE mandates to buy mortgages for the "very-low-income."

These bad loans were purchased and sold throughout the secondary market and the pyramid grew and the bottom collapsed resulting in the subprime crisis we are still reeling from today.

In 2008, the Village Voice published a compelling report detailing Andrew Cuomo's policy decisions "that gave birth to the country's current crisis."

The report touched on how Cuomo's 187-page rules "opened the door to abuse." The rules explicitly rejected the idea of imposing any new reporting requirements on the GSEs. In other words, HUD wanted Fannie and Freddie to buy risky loans, but the department didn't want to hear just how risky they were.

Many New York voters have been distracted by the gubernatorial candidate Carl Paladino's racist joke email forwards, what some are failing to see is the actual harm to the minority community directly caused by Cuomo's policies...and that is no laughing matter.

Cuomo's top aide said, "We believe that there are a lot of loans to black Americans that could be safely purchased by Fannie Mae and Freddie Mac if these companies were more flexible." Andrew Cuomo doubled down and had this to say about his HUD standards, "GSE presence in the subprime market could be of significant benefit to lower-income families, minorities, and families living in underserved areas."

How's that working out for the minority community, where foreclosures and unemployment rates have hit the hardest as a result of such failed policies and blatant social engineering?
