of Attorney General: The resignation of Attorney General Eric
Schniederman for private misconduct -- & barrage of press reporting about
it, about his successor, & the important office of attorney general -- with
no reporting then, or thereafter, as to how Schneiderman had corrupted his
office & its consequences for the People of the State of New York

proposes 'a la carte' menu of 'LLC loophole' bills" Politico
(Bill Mahoney)
"Proposed
executive budgets have repeatedly contained language to address LLCs,
but that language has always fallen out by the time final budget
language is agreed on. Last April, the BOE deadlocked
over an opinion that would have changed its treatment of LLCs. A lawsuit
attempting to force the board to change it was
thrown out in March. Democrats in the Senate attempted to force a
vote on the matter last year but were stymied by parliamentary
regulations; a similar attempt this year
seems fated for the same end. BOE enforcement counsel Risa Sugarman
brought a case rooted on the original logic that some donations
through LLCs circumvented contribution limits, but this was eventually
settled out of court."
August 26, 2015 "Lawsuit
could begin to close LLC loophole' for campaign donations"
Politico (Bill Mahoney)
"Sugarman's is not the only pending case in Albany over the LLC
loophole. The Brennan Center for Justice and Emery Celli Brinckerhoff &
Abady LLP similarly
filed suit against the Board of Elections in Albany in July, saying
the board had improperly interpreted election in determining that LLCs
should be treated as individuals."
