Fined in lobbying goof
THE CITY-FUNDED group that pushed to rezone Willets Point was slapped with a $59,090 fine yesterday because its leader, former Queens Borough President Claire Shulman, forgot to register as its lobbyist.
Shulman was paid $135,000 last year by the Flushing Willets Point Corona Local Development Corp., which got $250,000 in city funds over two years to support the rezoning.
A spokesman for the group said it will pay the fine from private donations, not city funds.

Why is the US Flag displayed Upside Down?
The flag should never be displayed with the union down, except as a signal of dire distress in instances of extreme danger to life or property.

"Sunlight is the best disinfectant."
Thomas Jefferson, founding father of the United States:
"The same prudence which in private life would forbid our paying our own money for unexplained projects, forbids it in the dispensation of the public moneys."
John Adams (Founding Father & 2nd President of the United States):
"The moment the idea is admitted into society that property is not as sacred as the laws of God, and there is not a force of law and public justice to protect it, anarchy and tyranny commence. Property must be sacred or liberty cannot exist."
