NYC Department Of Investigation Chief: Board Of Elections "Hostile" To Reform Recommendations

1. Good find. There's a *lot* wrong here but the following is the most blatant:

>>>He tangled -- protractedly -- with Councilman Ritchie Torres of the Bronx about the definition of "nepotism," saying that just because members of the same family work at the same agency doesn't indicate de facto corruption.

Torres countered that the agency -- which gives limited notice of job openings when it gives them at all and hires many of its full- and part-time workers through a patronage system linked to the county parties -- has an inarguably high degree of family relationships in its ranks.>>>


I remember your post from the last election cycle where you fumed about the logistical nightmare these people had set up for voters in your district. This is a window into why it's as bad as it is.

Kudos to Comm. Peters and to Mayor dB for taking these people on.
