Boss Christine Quinn and Emily Giske Consigliere
scroll down True New to find latest dirt on Quinn....
NYT Reader Shane Ustice whose comment was recorded under the NYT story Quinn’s Friendship With Lobbyist May Pose Test in Mayor Bid
said: "Boss Quinn and her office would direct non-profits to Ms . Giske's office for representation in funding applications from the City and the State. Many but not all of these directed clients were non-profits for the Gay etc Community. Giske became for a fee the go to lobbyist for these non-profits seeking funding from the City." NYT Reader John M. said: "Many of us in the lgbt community know that both Quinn and Giske are part of a political machine horror show." NYT Reader Tony Glover said: "The issue is that a very powerful lobbyist, with clients who depend on the city for major funding, is helping Ms. Quinn to become mayor." Another reader pointed out how Quinn makes alliances with other machines by providing them jobs in return for political support. She hired a disbarred lawyer from kruger's Thomas Jefferson Club in Brooklyn and hired dozens from Crowley's Queens machine.
2012 NYT Reporter on the Quinn Giske Relationship:
You Gotta Have Friends
In 1993 the NYT Called What Quinn and Her Lobbyist Friend Have Built A New-Age Political Machine. Their reporters this week called their relationship a friendship, but their readers through their comments called it what the NYT did almost 20 years ago, a political machine. What the NYT has failed to write about is how these social service machines work with the county machines to control politics in NYC. Over 20 elected official have already been convicted using member items to help them get reelected or line their pockets. Speaker Silver spent over $700,000 in 2010 to protect his vote in the Chinatown Section of his district.

In 2012 the NYT Said Described A New Aged Political Machine But Failed to Call It That, In An Attempt To Clean Up Their Obvious Choice to Be the Next Mayor
The NYT said Quinn and other council members have directed hundreds of thousands of dollars to nonprofit organizations that Giske's Bolton-St. Johns represents. But they did not do what they did with John Liu and identify how many contributions Quinn campaign received from those nonprofits. We do know that Quinn has gotten tens if not hundreds of thousands of dollars from the developers who benefited from the Highline which Quinn funded and Giske lobbied for. Or the contributions Quinn received from other Giske clients.
The NYT Readers Comments Jumped the Shark For the NYT Quinn Giske Containment Project . . . Reader Not the NYT Points Out Giske is A High Level Democrats Operative
NYT Reader Shane Ustice said: "What the article does not say is that Giske also, despite being a full time lobbyist was VP of the State Democratic Party. Giske could go into a party caucus wearing her state party official hat and behind the door power-broke for her clients." Other readers pointed how how Quinn handles patronage. when she takes over she fires all that she can and hires those loyal to herself and her friends. Another readers wrote about the called lobbyist Giske Quinn's "consigliere.: The reader continued "While their sexual orientation and gender has little to do with their quest for power and Quinn's evolution into Boss Quinn , these two women certainly prove sisterhood is powerful in their quest to turf like men in the political arena . Talk about “Iron Ladies” indeed."
FYI: Go back to the original article on Christine Quinn and Giske and look at the comments. They are the real news. The Times either censors by preventing readers from posting or hoping you all won't read them by waiting 28 hours to post.

My preference for mayor
is anybody but Quinn.
She is an egregious liar
who supported a third term
for herself, the council,
and the mayor.
She should be barred from
doing any business with the city.
Perhaps Al Sharpton will give her a job!
