KAYLIN WITTINGHAM, ESQ.

November 23, 2022
"Governor Hochul Announces Nominee for the Commission
on Ethics and Lobbying in Government"

CJA's November 30, 2022 opposition comment --
electronically sent, at 2:21 am on November 30, 2022,
via Governor Hochul's web portal

“Kaylin Whittingham, ESQ. is unworthy of any position of public trust – having colluded, since June, in covering up the prima facie, open-and-shut EVIDENCE of governmental corruption involving the New York State budget that enabled JCOPE to be replaced, unconstitutionally and by fraud, by the statutorily-inferior Commission on Ethics and Lobbying in Government (CELG), to which Governor Hochul has now appointed her. The proof are the e-mails I sent Ms. Whittingham, as a member of the Executive Committee of the New York State Bar Association, about the lawsuit Center for Judicial Accountability, et al. v. JCOPE, et al. – expressly brought on behalf of the People of the State of New York, suing Governor Hochul as a named respondent/defendant, along with CELG’s other ‘selection members’ – Temporary Senate President Stewart-Cousins, Assembly Speaker Heastie, Attorney General James, and Comptroller DiNapoli. These are dated June 14th , June 16th, July 3rd, and September 25th . Will you ask Ms. Whittingham – a lawyer described by the Governor’s press announcement as ‘specializing in the laws of professional responsibility for lawyers’ – what she did, consistent with those laws, upon receiving my e-mails? What findings of fact and conclusions of law did she make, or insist be made by her fellow State Bar leadership, starting with the constitutionality and lawfulness of the enactment of the ‘ethics commission reform act of 2022’, via the budget – the sixth cause of action of the lawsuit? I am available to give testimony, publicly and under oath. Is she?  914-421-1200”.
