with annotation --
"Why has New York's press not reported on -- let alone investigated -- this major case,
whose record is a readily-verifiable 'paper trail' of corruption and larceny of taxpayer monies
for which the Governor, Attorney General, Comptroller, New York's state legislators, and top Judges
must all be indicted.  Check it out at www.judgewatch.org, accessible from the prominent center link 'CJA's Citizen-Taxpayer Actions to End NYS' Corrupt Budget '"Process' & Unconstitutional "Three Men in a Room" Governance'.  I look forward to the benefit of your answer and can be reached at 914-421-1200 and via e-mail at elena@judgewatch.org".
