That again
You still stick with that baloney about Harrison and zoning. Well, we should remember that that miserable excuse fails to explain (1) that the Democrat Golden ran against favored the same zoning change, (2) that Golden was surely more effective working for that change on the Council where he was sitting, rather than in the Senate, (3) that zoning can in no way explain contribtuions to the Conservative Party, a Statewide Republican, and Vito Fossella, and (4) that all the donation in that pattern are better explained as an effort to buy Republican and Conservative support for golden's Council seat when he won the Senate race, since that is the exact manner in which Brooklyn Republicans and Conservatives usually extort suckers for their support before pulling the rug out from under them.
And 2002, is very relevant, because that is eaxtly when McMahon took the one and only vote on a non-binding war resolution that Bouldin finds so damning. But 2002 is only relevant if we compare what Harrison was doing at the same time: financing and campaigning for the warmongers and their parties, while introducing no resolutions on the Community Board himself.
However, you are correct that McMahon should clarify the timing and content of his conversations with Jerry Kassar.
