Home AidesGovenor Pataki, I am sure, can't help but feel compassion for Alan Hevesi. After all, if Hevesi had only followed the Pataki model and arranged to put Mrs. Hevesi's driver on the state party payroll...
Note also that once again, a woman getting paid less than a man for similar assignments.
People who are courageous enough to reveal their names might also consider being courageous enought to reveal whether they have been involved in any business matter over which Alan Hevesi may have had jurisdiction or potential influence. That would contribute to the integrity of the comment. This is not to suggest that Ken Fisher has a personal interest in Hevesi's future. Just a general suggestion.
A Chief Fiscal Officer violating his fiduciary obligation (and a public trust) for the purposes of personal enrichment (or at least offsetting a potential threat to his fiscal health), to the detriment of those who funds are being absconded with, is quite different from the titular head of a private political organization misusing that organization's funds with the express permission of those who are legally charged with determining that organization's priorities. Both are unseemly, but the former is much much more. Former Councilman Ken, Formerly the People's Friend, is a smart lawyer who clearly grapsed this distinction before he chose to ignore it. His pithy post shows both his level of cleverness, and his clear belief that other people are not similarly equipped. It is admirable that Ken, once a big supporter of Liz Holtzman, has not joined Liz's other friends in engaging in schaudenfraude over Mr. Hevesi's troubles, but, aside from the humor (and the always well appreciated opportunity to slap our thoroughly repugnant excuse for a Governor), there is nothing else to admire about this pathetic attempt at misdirection. Ken, you can do much better. I dunno Gate. Few people make campaign contributions for nothing. We know that Mrs. Hevesi's aide cost us the cost of one aide. What did Mrs. Pataki's aide cost us? Of course, the same may be said of Hevesi's contributors. Cranky: Contributions to the Republican State Committee buy "access" no matter what the money is spent on. That evil remains the same regardless. And since most of the donors got what they bought, they were not cheated. But my taxes were not spent on what I thought I was buying, so I was robbed. That Pataki misused these ill-gotten funds does not really concern me; in fact, to the extent the funds were wasted, they were not used to elect more Republicans. Therefore, I am very pleased. Let's get the woman a few more servants! Could serve as a whole-life viewpoint of those who have been around the block too many times, I guess. Are any of us getting what we expected for our taxes? Mr.Hevesi's failure to promptly reimburse the state for the use of the state employee to drive his wife may or not have been illegal. And, he should be held responsible. But I do not think it proper to say that therefor he violated his "fiduciary responsibility" which implies he mis-handled the state money which has been placed in his hands for good faith management. I concur if your ultimate point is that the power to manage the state pension funds should be distributed more widely in principal.

i don't think this is truly an apples-to-apples comparison? the republican party was not paying out of funds it was supposed to be monitoring and managing on behalf of the taxpayers, for starters.
