quick note on Morelle

Albany machine politician and Cuomo ally Joe Morelle just announced his campaign for NY-25 – and the skeletons are already jumping out of his closet.

Morelle stood by Sheldon Silver during his corruption trial after he took more than $5 million in illegal bribes and was convicted on seven counts including services fraud, extortion, and money laundering.

In Morelle’s words: “I am continuing to support the speaker and I would say that the members, overwhelmingly in the conversation that we just had, are continuing their support.”

Bottom line: Joe Morelle is just another creature of Albany.
