1. Actually, "many" involved did NOT get promotions and raises.

The ones involved either resigned or were suspended.

Bianca Perez, Bronx Democrat, president - resigned
Chief Clerk Diane Haslett Rudiano, Republican - suspended w/o pay
Deputy Chief Clerk Betty Ann Canizio, Democrat - suspended w/o pay

Two people were temporarily promoted to fill the two suspended positions as Acting Chief Clerk and Acting Deputy. And yes, the people that moved into those positions got raises.

But nice to see the manufactured outrage you're trying to create.

on the BOE need to be under criminal investigation.

People thought this was about the presidential race but if you look at the neighborhoods hit it becomes clear this is more about the mayor's race next year.

That actually makes a lot of sense. Of course for those who struggle with nuance it's just easier to blame Hillary and Democrats.

Same thing with Northern Manhattan which was also heavily hit.


Mostly miniority areas were the most effected areas.
