Michael Grimm Looses website and office by The Clerk of The House. Gay Dem.Matt Titone still supporting Grimm??
Those looking for information on their former congressman, Michael Grimm, may be unable to find it, as the website for his congressional office has been replaced with one from the Office of the Clerk of the U.S. House of Representatives.
Grimm is the second consecutive congressman in the Island Boro of the City of NY., forced to resign because of lies and corruption on Grimm’s part and to the contrary to his remarks, “Every body does it” the IRS was not in agreement nor most people of integrity that know well that this is not why these guys are sent to Congress. To lie and cheat. Grimm was always anti gay and anti immigration following the Tea party line. But he was very honest and pro law and order bring up his past as an FBI agent (but no body knows why he can could no longer work there. Let wondering minds answer that one)
The other Representative who had to resign, What’s his name? Yes that one Vito Fossella, the tall one who used to carry his little girl around on his shoulders to campaign for family values when gays where being told by GOP that they had none. He Cheated on his wife and for a bunch of years he had a girl friend with one kid unknown to his wife living in between DC and Staten Island. The things these two guys had in common with Grimm: They are both Young and Republicans and representatives of the Tea bag party on their district. They are liers, corrupted and an embarrassment to the Institution and their party.
Grimm stayed on until he could no longer keep on serving using this as leverage for his sentencing some say. If he would have not run he would have given a fellow Republican the chance to run against a weak democratic contender and probably keep the district for the GOP. But just like he wasn’t thinking about anyone else except his butt when he decided to not pay income taxes for illegals he had working for him, the same illegals he and his party drag out through the floor of Congress all the time and have appropriated enough money to built a wall to no where to try to make harder for women and children to cross the border but not for anyone else. The contractor putting the fence endorsed putting the fence very strongly by lobbying the republicans members of congress.
To make this expensive soap opera complete guess who is been backing Grimm “ I give him the benefit of the doubt” Matthew Titone said after the guy was convicted. Well he is a state politician Titone is, a Democrat, gay and from Staten Island. Why is he being so supportive of Grimm?
I don’t understand or maybe I understand too well! I would imagine this would be the opportunity to remind the public about the quality of politicians The South side of Staten Island and Brooklyn are sending to represent them. It’s obvious he does’t care is not his fight and after all I have never seen Matthew as the sharpest tool in the political shead. Titone is the perfect example of a candidate that does not deserve the backing of his base (gay) Voting for the next door neighbor or for one that has the same religion as you or the same sexual orientation as Titone sometimes is NOT the smartest thing to do. There is nothing he is done for the gay community except show up at rallies and follow the media around. This also is a message being sent out to the gay community that one does not need to vote for a gay candidate like before. We needed to put those hum bers there to have leverage in the political field and show Gays could be elected like everyone else. Some Gay candidates(very few) have sold out in other states. You have had the gay community vote for a gay marriage supporter young republican than the incumbent Dem gay candidate. We should pick the one who is going to be better for the job. If they are gay is wonderful but if a straight candidate is going to be the better, one should go for the better one. Being gay should no longer be a ticket for those that want to be politicians that they are guarantee an endorsement by the community. We should do smart Voting!
Grimm resigned from office on Monday after pleading guilty to one count of felony tax fraud, and the clerk's office took over control of his district offices and the staff.
One can find very little information on the former congressman himself on the new website. The old website had Grimm’s biography, a district map, recent announcements and press releases, among other things.
The new website details how the clerk's office will oversee the district offices in Washington, D.C., Staten Island and Brooklyn. Those offices will remain open and staffed to help with constituent services while the congressional seat remains vacant.
Staff answering the phones on Tuesday, Grimm's first day out of office, identified the office as the 11th Congressional District, no longer as the office of Congressman Michael Grimm.
The interim status of the office and the vacant seat continues until a new congress member is elected in a special election sometime this year.
Under the U.S. Constitution, Gov. Andrew Cuomo must call for a special election to fill the vacated seat. The election must take place within 70 to 80 days of when he announces it. However, the governor has discretion as to when to call for a special election, which could prevent it from taking place until the next general election in November.
Since there is no congress member for the 11th Congressional District, the clerk's website explains that, unlike an elected representative in the House, the staff can't discuss positions on public policy with constituents. The website urges those in the 11thCongressional District to contact their U.S. senators to "express opinions on legislation ... or wait until a new Representative is elected and takes office."
Out of 435 members of the 114th Congress, Grimm’s is the only vacancy currently.
