7/31/08 More Sleazy Payouts. This Time on Governor Paterson's Expenditures
According to Governor Paterson's periodic expenditure report, for the period January 2008-July 11, 2008, filed July 16, 2008, a day late, Stiles and Partners and Kristian Stiles herself, have been paid large sums for consulting, reimbursements and "other" expenses.
Justice Denied spoke to the New York State Election Board today who revealed that the expenditure report that is found online was amended and that the original report and the request for changes are not available online.
Under the Paterson for Governor, Inc., financial disclosure, Stiles and Partner were paid a total of $15, 666.67 on May 30, 2008 for consulting fees and paid another $10,000 seven days later, on June 6, 2008, also consulting fees. On June 13, 2008, again seven days later, Kristian Stiles was paid an additional $1,318.92 for what is listed as "other".
The payments, in lieu of the fact that the feds were interested in looking at her records in relationship to the Emperor's Club Prostitution ring, leaves us to wonder why, when he is paying other consulting firms, has he chosen to get himself embroiled in what may become another controversial issue? Exactly what was amended, and when was the unamended disclosure actually filed? The big question is, will they have a copy of it available for public inspection upon request, or will it disappear, like so many other state records?
We'll know some of those answers tomorrow, but in the meantime, take a look. Ah, and note the $9,542.12 expense to Attorney Henry T. Berger on May 30th, the same day Stiles and Partners got their first check. He was paid for professional services. Hmmm, wonder what Paterson had to confer with his attorney about?
