Still reeling over evidence handed over to the District Attorney’s Office, and a referral to the New York State Board of Elections of fraud, forgery and conspiracy perpetrated by the campaign of State Senator Craig Johnson, new priorities of the Senator’s work in Albany can be unveiled to the greater Elmont, Floral Park and Franklin Square communities.
Elmont.org, in another local exclusive story, can now inform readers that the scandal plagued Senator who is supposed to use his time in Albany to fight for the community in the state budget battle, instead used social networking device “Twitter” to post his “worst porn movie title” on a day where the Senate was voting on bills.
Twitter, the social networking tool used by young people and adults, was the grand focus of the Senator during budget negotiations. And, while State Legislators were battling for the return of the STAR Rebate checks that were eliminated by Senator Johnson, the Senator was busy tweeting away his time trying to “one up” his twitter pals on “porn movie titles.”
Longtime community observers called the twitter posts “an appalling and shocking revelation that was another nail in the coffin of the Senator’s re-election bid.” One school aid leader remarked, “he should do the honorable thing and resign. This is obviously way over his head.”
The story on the Senator’s twitter post was revealed by the New York Post weeks ago. Senator Johnson’s office acknowledged the post. However, the Senator would not respond to the article and hid while his spokesperson tried to explain that it was all in fun.
Unfortunately, this incident engulfing the Senator is yet another Albany incident of sleaze that taxpayers have had to put up with. Just a few months ago, local residents traveled to Albany to meet with the Senator from our local schools and taxpayer groups to be told that the Senator was too busy to meet with them.
