Excerpt from a NY Times article about Quinn’s friendship with lobbyist Emily Giske of Bolton St. James: “The Council has done well by many of Bolton-St. Johns’ clients in recent years. Ms. Quinn and other council members have directed hundreds of thousands of dollars to nonprofit organizations that Bolton-St. Johns represents, including most recently Care for the Homeless; the Lesbian, Gay, Bisexual and Transgender Community Center; and the Women’s Housing and Economic Development Corporation. Kingsbrook Jewish Medical Center, also represented by Ms. Giske, has received capital financing from the Council in the last two budgets.”
