[QUOTE="moreluck, post: 1419633, member: 1246"] Is there any Democratic politician in New York not facing some scandal? Via [URL='http://www.nydailynews.com/news/politics/queens-assemblyman-william-scarborough-article-1.1959122']NYDN:[/URL] ALBANY — A state lawmaker from Queens was charged in a double shot of indictments Wednesday with ripping off taxpayers and donors — another blow to a Legislature battered by scandal. Assemblyman William Scarborough was slammed with 11 federal charges that he cheated the state by submitting 174 vouchers for at least $40,000 in bogus travel and lodging expenses from 2009 through 2012. Earlier in the day, the 68-year-old Democrat was hauled into state court — in shackles and a suit — to face 23 state charges that he used more than $38,000 in campaign funds for personal benefit. Scarborough, an assemblyman since 1995, pleaded not guilty in separate arraignments in Albany. [/QUOTE]
