Espada's Son Already Quitting Made-Up No-Show Job

Big props to the Bronx News Network for aggregating all the links about the younger Espada resigning from a blatantly nepotistic $120K/year job. Click here for their News Roundup (the first two items are about this resignation).

My favorite link must be the one from the Post, in which the younger Espada is absent from his new job, only shows up after being told the Post is looking for him, needs to be directed to his office by a staffer, and is unable to log on to his computer.

I guess an (additional) investigation from AG Andrew Cuomo was not welcomed by the Espada clan.

Let the Extortion Begin: Espada's Son with Cushy, $120K, Made Up Job

The Daily Intel is reporting that NY State Senate Majority Leader, Pedro Espada (I just died a little when I typed that), has procured a $120,000/year "job" for his son, Pedro G. Espada. The new Senate gig for the younger Pedro is "deputy director of intergovernmental relations." What the fuck is that made-up job?

It turns out the job is indeed made up; the younger Pedro isn't replacing anyone - this is a newly created job.

Hiring freeze, anyone? Horrible state-wide budget crisis, anyone?

The Faustian deal the Senate Democrats made with this lout is going to bite them in their collective asses.
