The New York Post is reporting that Brooklyn Republican County Leader Ted Ghorra submitted an affidavit on behalf of Lester Chang --- affirming Lester Chang's residence in Brooklyn --- Now, isn't that SPECIAL !!!
According to Chang's own testimony during intense cross-examination at the hearing --- it all came down to this >>> ".... I was registered to vote in Manhattan.… But my physical intent was in Brooklyn..... [and my failure to immediately file a change of address was] just a matter of convenience. It’s as simple as that...."
As we here on this independent Republican blog for Brooklyn and Staten Island have reported several times already --- the NY Assembly Judiciary Committee had assembled a raft of documentary evidence that established Lester Chang's principal and permanent address was at 19 Cleveland Place on Manhattan, and not really at his mother's house in Brooklyn --- some of that evidence was proof Chang lived in Manhattan into the year 2022, some of it that he lived there up to the recent 2022 election in November, and some of it that he maintains his residence there up to the present day and continuing into the future..... Based on several reports in the city-wide press, and local and/or specialized media --- most if not all of that evidentiary material was put into the record at yesterday's Chang eligibility-residency hearing conducted pursuant to the Assembly's Standing Rules by the NYS Assembly's Standing Judiciary Committee
Both the Judiciary Committee's special counsel and Chang's attorney will be allowed until the end of this month to submit their proposed "reports" on the matters presented before the Judiciary Committee yesterday --- and all of it will be submitted to the Assembly as a whole to consider in January 2023
What could Ted Ghorra possibly contribute that might be useful in proving Lester Chang lived in Brooklyn during 2021 and 2022 ??? One wonders to what the man who might have caused this whole mess by failing to vet Chang in the first place might have to say to make any of it better.....
Both the NYS and NYC BOE had official rccords indicating that Lester Chang lived at 19 Cleveland Place, Manhattan, NY --- at the NYC BOE, as a registered voter until 2/18/2022, and at the NYS BOE through November 2021 on list of contributions by individual contributors, wrt a 11/16/2021 donation to the campaign of Lee Zeldin [and several prior donations to other candidates since 2016]. At the NYC BOE, the first indication that Lester Chang was registered to vote at 1015 East 29th Street, Brooklyn NY 11210 was on 2/18/2022; and at the NYS BOE, the first indication that Lester Chang was using 1015 East 29th Street, Brooklyn NY 11210 as a residence was on 9/13/2022.
Ted could be on the hook for that DMV fine. Sounds real serious.
ReplyDeleteNick Chamberas was the one who pushed Chang
ReplyDeleteAt some point the courts will rule that the Judiciary Comm for next session has jurisdiction. Not this one.
ReplyDelete"I was registered to vote in Manhattan.… But my physical intent was in Brooklyn"
ReplyDeleteOh get OFF it, guy.
Nick will have this all worked out by Monday.
ReplyDeleteWhen it is proven Lester Chang lied now Ted will be charged with perjury
ReplyDeleteOMG !! Everyone is going to prison because Lester wasnt at moms
ReplyDeleteVito Labella, the failed GOP-Conservative candidate against the first and only Asian from Brooklyn to be elected to the NYS legislature and seated in Albany during the 2022-2023 cycle is pushing a real sour grapes agenda to force the NYS Assembly to "seat" Lester Chang even though Chang is not eligible to respresent any Brooklyn district in Albany.
ReplyDeleteLaBella's postings are full of lies concerning the objections to Assenlyman-elect Chang. None of them has anything to do with who got the most votes in the 2022 election. It's not about anybody's winning or losing the 2022 election; it is about whether Lester Chang is qualified to represent a Brooklyn district in the NYS Assembly as dictated by the terms of the NYS Constitution.
LaBella's most important falsification of the record of Lester Chang was saying that Chang had to be in Manhattan during 2021 because he was called to duty by the U.S. Naval Reserve. That never happened. Lester ChHang was not in the U.S. Naval Reserve in 2021, except as a retiree; and he wasn't called-up by them during 2021.
Vito LaBella thinks he’s running for City Council. The delusions of grandeur throughout the same LaBella camp that only got about as many votes as Brian Fox for Senate are big enough to house all the migrants coming in. Reality gonna be tough on them
ReplyDeleteLaBella's pitches about Lester Chang are basically the same "Once upon a time..." twisted fairytale that Chang and his lawyers tried to peddle to the Assembly Judiciary Committee on Wednesday.
ReplyDeleteLaBella and Chang were cut from the same cloth, both ran in Brooklyn districts where they didn't reside; and then it was reported that both of them really lived outside of Brooklyn entirely. When each of them was confronted about it, the response was the same, retell the same "... over the river and through the woods..." story about long ago and how Brooklyn used to be.
851, I think the LaBella-Chang-Fox-etc plan is just to create a friggin' mess.
