Quinn on Prepaying Debt


Here’s Christine Quinn explaining to reporters yesterday why she thinks the city has to use its newfound surplus to prepay future debt obligations.

At about the 1:30 mark, Quinn says, “Every budget gets judged by the amount of prepayment of bills and debt is the same, greater or less than the year before. And if we pay fewer bills in advance in one year compared to the year before, we will be deemed to be in a structural deficit.”

How can Speaker Quinn talk about the budget after she just got caught stealing taxpayer money?

Quinn and her inner circle belong in jail.

Alert Clerk (not verified) says:

Speaker Quinn has a lot of nerve discussing the budget as if she is not a target of the federal investigation. I also find it appalling that Quinn wants photos of herself with Military Veterans on Memorial Day after she stole money from the City budget by placing it under the name of a phony veterans group. Quinn committed a crime and should be prosecuted. Speaker Quinn has cultivated a culture of corruption in City Hall.

When Speaker Quinn's aide Maura Keany comes back from her leave of absence she should have Laura Popa (Quinn's attorney) direct one of her poor interns look up the following statue: Title 18, UNITED STATES CODE, Section 1341.

The above statute is basic federal mail fraud. When Quinn's aides put a stamp on a package containing the City's budget with Quinn's phony phantom groups, Quinn and her staff committed mail fraud. They all should be prosecuted accordingly. Speaker Quinn got caught in her lies just like the defendant in the following video got caught in his lies:
