John Quaglione Spent $18,000 at Senator Golden’s Family Business
Last week I shared an article about John Quaglione spending 13K at Marty Golden’s family business during the election. HE ACTUALLY SPENT $18,000 – story here. SMH. Quaglione participated in the matching funds program so he was given taxpayers money for the campaign. SMH. Then I saw this online:
When I noticed the difference in the two amounts, I wrote to the author about it. He told me that an additional campaign finance filing came in with another $5000.
The newer article also had this snazzy graphic by Jeff Boyer:
How many local papers will mention that Quaglione spent that much money at Golden’s family business? So far none.
- Why was so much spent on parties? It’s not a Sweet 16 or a wedding – it’s an election – have some snacks and a drink and move on.
- What changed from the last election? I don’t remember John Quaglione having parties at Marty’s family place last year. Actually I remember him using local restaurants.
- What if that money was spent at several businesses in Bay Ridge and that helped a few businesses flourish before the holiday season?
John Orlando, spokesman for the Quaglione spoke about why the Manor was chosen, but John Orlando doesn’t realize that Quaglione broadcasted some events online and people saw that catering hall wasn’t always needed.
While Quaglione has spent taxpayers matching funds at his bosses place, he is complaining on Twitter about an elected representative spending “too much money.” He loves pointing the finger around.
