And Ariel Dvorkin the newly minted "Coordinator" of the NY Ethics Review Commission (JERKOFF) has proven my point yet again.
A week ago I made a FOIL request of Salkin that her commission provide some pretty simple documentation to establish her public statements about why the public hearing scheduled for Albany was cancelled. Well tonight, exactly one week after my request, I got a response from Ariel Dvorkin on Ethics Review Stationary listing him as "Coordinator". And true to form it was the standard state agency response under the Cuomo regime of we got your Foil and we will let you know in 20 days what we plan to do about it. Perfectly legal but far from transparent.
What are they hiding this time?
I'll wait the 20 days but will be on the phone Tuesday to Blair Horner to see if the goo goos are going to take a stand against the charade of this review commission or go along and become part of the circle JERKOFF on Wednesday.
Remember Blair when it comes to ethics masturbation the pleasure given equals the pleasure received.
For those that want to see Ariels email and my response I've copied it below.

David, attached is the acknowledgement letter for your FOIL request. Thanks very much.

Ariel
Congratulations on your
appointment? as "Coordinator" of the New York Ethics Review
Commission. Does the position of Coordinator make you a member of the
Commission or an employee? Does this mean you are subject to the
restrictions that are associated with employment or appointment to a New York
State Commission? In any event your response to my FOIL request shows you
have mastered the skill required to be involved with any New York State ethics
agency. A 20 day response to provide an "update or final determination"?
Really? could you be less transparent? We both know you have the
ability to provide the information I requested but you are choosing to delay
before you refuse to provide it. And we both know why you are choosing to
act with little or no integrity. But rest assured I shall patiently await
your next response to my FOIL request and continue to post all your responses
so the media and public can see how truly ineffectual you and the
commission you are the Coordinator of are. By the way I still have not
received any of the material I requested from Ms. Salkin that I or anyone else
would need to provide cogent testimony at your public hearing on
Wednesday. Would you care to provide just a modicum of honesty by letting
me know you don't have that material so that I don't waste a trip to New York
City to watch the good government groups embarrass themselves by repeating the
same old nonsense about fewer commissioners and more transparency.
David
