From TownHall.com:
The majority leader of New York’s Senate is accused of siphoning $14 million from his government-funded clinic in the Bronx for lavish restaurant meals, trips to Las Vegas and his own campaign, according to a civil lawsuit announced Tuesday by Attorney General Andrew Cuomo.
The suit against Democratic Sen. Pedro Espada Jr. covers five years of spending, the last two of which Espada spent as a senator representing the Bronx. The suit also names 19 other current and former officials of Espada’s Comprehensive Community Development Corp., known locally as Soundview and operating on about $12 million annually, mostly from state and federal government funds.
