So Many Demo Scandals, So Little Time
I haven't had time for an update since last Friday on the antics of NY State Comptroller and Democrat candidate for governor, Carl McCall. It seems that Now It's His Wife:
State Comptroller Carl McCall - above with wife Joyce Brown - sent her résumé to a Chicago real-estate executive who was investing millions of dollars on behalf of the state's pension fund, The Post has learned.

It was at least the third time that McCall wrote a letter on official stationery in which he mixed state business with his family.

...

The latest revelation comes after The Post reported last week that McCall sent a letter to a telecommunications executive in 1997 in which he noted that the pension fund was a major shareholder - and that he also was sending the résumé of his daughter, Marci.

Marci McCall was hired by Verizon in 1998, but left her job last year after she was accused of improperly using a company credit card.

The Post also reported that McCall sent a letter to a Coca-Cola executive in which he noted he's an "investor" - and attached his cousin's résumé.

The letters were found in files in the state's archives - but removed after The Post reported about them last week. McCall said that they will be returned to the state library later this week.
Ah! A man who looks after his family.
