Keeping the Commission to Investigate Public Corruption True
to its Name & Announced Purpose

THE PEOPLE HAVE SOMETHING TO SAY --
& EVIDENCE TO BACK IT UP

PRESS RELEASE: For Immediate Release: September 17, 2013

The Moreland Commission a Rubber-stamp of Governor's Public Financing Campaign Plan

NEW YORK CITY --- Pace University hosted the Moreland Commission on public corruption (http://publiccorruption.moreland.ny.gov/); we saw proof that you can fool all of the people some of the time. We regret to report that THE MORELAND COMMISSION WILL NOT BE ABOUT PROSECUTING CORRUPTION (corruption happens after election), it was about taking public monies to finance campaigns, so the Empire State can live up to its name.

            How do we know?  Public financing does not cause more turnovers in incumbents.  So who will the taxpayer money go to?  Yesterday's crooks ---- their fellow incumbent co-conspirators (who would have an affirmative obligation to report and remedy malfeasance).  We will now be asked to believe that public financing of campaigns will rehabilitate the corrupt to become model public servants.

            Let's look at a Moreland Commission “success story”: the “new” and “reformed” Long Island Power Authority (LIPA).  The Commission has already reviewed LIPA and was supposed to purge corruption there.  So what happened?  The commission was formed July 2nd, 2013 --- LIPA adds a layer of management via PSE&G on July 29th, 2013---- BOY WAS THAT FAST!  National Grid still makes the power. Nobody was prosecuted, nobody was named for malfeasance, no corruption was identified, the rates were the highest in the continental US, and let us not forget those rates were increased twice in August and twice again in September. The loyalists strike again!

            What can we expect of the Moreland Commission otherwise? Nothing!  Their activity continues to be a venting for the well prepared and a therapy session for the emotionally scarred.  The testimony offered before a panel of mostly attorneys who have an affirmative obligation to report and deter crime and injury --- yet only the former prosecutors had even a modest history of reporting or prosecuting malfeasance or corruption.  The motive of the Empire State: make scapegoats out of some officials, stripping of them of their pensions, so the survivors may get even larger ones.

            The Chairperson of the Commission (Regina Calcaterra) was herself adjudicated as a fraudulent NYS Senate Candidate who lacked basic residency requirements ---- she lied repeatedly before the court swearing she was a proper NYS resident for office when she had sworn in Pennsylvania documents that she was a proper resident there.  Moreland Commission is rotten at the core.

             The four insurgent ratepayers -- an energy expert, a business strategist, union president, and an attorney --- continue to strive for more Truths by way of election law for JUSTICE, and to create elected oversight of LIPA.
