According to True News, the abrupt resignation of Council Member Miguel Martinez, facing federal indictment for his role in the City Hall slush fund scandal, is making some of his colleagues very nervous.What Martinez did -- steering hundreds of thousands of taxpayer dollars into a not-for-profit organization for which his sister served as a board member -- looks to be almost standard procedure. Dozens of Martinez' colleagues, including Speak Christine Quinn, have been under investigation for the past year for similar abuses of "member items" a/k/a earmarks.
Even more nervous-making for his colleagues is the fact that Martinez appears ready to cop a quick guilty plea, meaning he'll probably turn prosecution witness in exchange for a sentencing deal.
Maybe, says True News, the FBI, with Martinez' help, will finally get to the bottom of the scandal, which the mainstream media has ignored.
