Sheldon Silver, the powerful longtime speaker of the New York State Assembly, is facing arrest on federal corruption charges, according to a published report.
The New York Times reported that the charges stemmed from payments that Silver, a Democrat, received from a small New York City law firm, Goldberg & Iryami, that specializes in seeking reductions in New York City real estate taxes. It was not immediately clear how much Silver was paid by the firm, but the paper reported that the amounts were "substantial" and the payments were made over several years. Silver reportedly failed to disclose the payments as required in his annual financial filings with the state.
The Times reports that the federal investigation of Silver began after New York Gov. Andrew Cuomo abruptly shut down an anticorruption commission he created in March of 2013. That inquiry had focused on outside income earned by state legislators with part-time jobs.

Chuck Cook posts an article about Frederick County and makes this comment. His little followers make comments like "We will take a road trip and have a voter registration drive." How soon that idiot forgets the armpit of Maryland(his Homo friend is Mayor) is the laughing stock of Maryland because of his democrat friends Barrie Tilghman, Jim Ireton and Jake Day. Does this mean that Chuck Cook thinks he still will have access to the voting machines like he did in the City of Salisbury election? He failed in the Wicomico County election. He failed in O'Pollitt's and O'Brown's. Chuck Cook just give up now, we are on to you and you are a failure.

Why does Frederick have so many clowns in elected office? That needs to be corrected in 2018
I certainly hope Hogan remembers which state employee ran through his campaign event in a chicken suit.
Who did that 10:45am?
