Stringer Calls out Quinn in WSJ
Scott Stringer calls out Quinn in the Wall Street Journal, “There was no slush fund in my office…I don’t give out money based on political considerations to favorite council members.”
Quinn Delivers a Scolding, and Then an Apology
“’You can call me Speaker,’ Ms. Quinn said in a testy tone. ‘It’s my press conference. I actually decide what words are necessary.’ It was not a pleasant episode for Ms. Quinn, who is frequently mentioned as a possible successor to Mayor Michael R. Bloomberg in 2013 but whose critics have expressed concerns about her temperament. Even her own aides and fellow council members winced.”
Marist Poll

When did Quinn start lying?
Quinn “made a strong and unequivocal promise to her then future constituents: She had not and would not take money from landlords or developers. “No I haven’t and no I won’t,” she said with emphasis…it did not take long before Quinn started to break her promise. A re-examination of her campaign contributions from 1999 shows she was lying through her teeth even during her first campaign. And today, as then, she’s in complete denial.”
