Is the end near in the Bronx Ticket Investigation
UPDATE:

  A Bronx grand jury has handed down indictments for 17 former and/or current police officers in the "Bronx Ticket Fixing Probe"

  Reports are coming in now from differing sources as to just how many police officers will be indicted in the now three year old investigation by the Bronx District Attorneys office of an alleged ticket fixing scandal in the Bronx. The New York Post reports that from 9 - 12 officers could face indictment on various charges such as bribery and obstruction of justice. The Daily News puts the number as high as 17, but there has been no official conformation as to the exact number of police officers that may be indicted from the Bronx DA's office. 

  Even 1010 WINS radio has reported that the cops in question are accused of taking liquor, expensive meals, cash and other bribes for making tickets disappear for friends and family members and even an executive with the Yankees. There has been no date set for any announcement, but it could come very soon.

Liberty Democratic Association Awards Dinner

 

Dear Friends,

Liberty Democratic Association Annual Awards Dinner is coming this October 13, 2011. The event is on a Thursday night and it is gearing up to be a great event. We have a fabulous list of honorees.

We at Liberty Democratic Association use some of the proceeds to help needy citizens of the Bronx. Last year we provided 50 turkeys at Thanksgiving to St. Lucy’s church, money went to the food bank of The Jewish Community Council of The Bronx, a donation was made to the Einstein’s children program to provide a party to children, 78% who are on Medicare. We also helped the 49^th Precinct Council with their fellowship breakfast.

The more you help us ; the more we can help our indigent Bronx residents.

Again, I would like to thanks all who have already responded.

To those who plan to attend, but who have not RSVP; we request you to respond before September 29, 2011. We need to set the room and the tables.

Thanks,

Joseph A. McManus

80^th Assembly District, Bronx NY
