Once again we see "legal word games" as excuses for not telling the truth - too many lawyer types in government.
"if the committee had addressed this issue to her she would have told them. The Ethics Committee did not follow up on who Supervisor Meeghan or Councilman Hart was telling the truth" -
So what we see is like a child - "I didn't say it - so I didn't lie - you didn't ask if I stole it"
Patronage and Party Favors are alive and well !
