Brooklyn Democrat Boss' Deals

The New York Post reports:

It's the grandaddy of all sweetheart deals.

First the city gave away land to a senior-citizens group linked to Assemblyman and Brooklyn Democratic boss Vito Lopez. Now the city pays sky-high rent to the Lopez-founded group for the same property.

"It's kooky -- the city is paying for something it doesn't have to," said a city official who looked into the matter.

The official said the rental agreement is part of mounting evidence that the city favors the politically connected Ridgewood Bushwick Senior Citizens Council, which is run by Lopez's campaign treasurer and his girlfriend.

Great moments in the Democrat party.
