We Are Asking Maureen O'Connell To Come Clean, Release The Audit

by: phillip anderson

Tue Jan 30, 2007 at 11:15:07 AM EST


It's time to ask Maureen O'Connell to come clean and release the audit of her office that was delivered to her ON JANUARY 12th. We aren't the only ones asking either. The Working Families Party is asking as well:

The Working Families Party calls on Maureen O'Connell to release an audit of her performance as Nassau County Clerk. With O'Connell's record as Nassau County Clerk a major part of her campaign for State Senate, it is essential that voters are in possession of all the facts when they choose a new State Senator.

O'Connell has been in possession of the audit of her performance in office since January 12th. Instead of releasing the audit to the public, O'Connell has broken with protocol and refused to comment on the audit until after the election. Voters in the Seventh Senate District deserve to know all the facts when they vote in the February 6 special election.

Maureen O'Connell should put to rest questions about her actions as Nassau County Clerk by releasing the management audit.

Please join us in asking Maureen O'Connell to put all speculation to rest by releasing this document which should have been in the public realm weeks ago. Give her a call:

Maureen O'Connell For State Senate
499 Jericho Turnpike
Suite 100
Mineola, NY 11501

Hmm (4.00 / 1)
And this is someone we're supposed to trust to "bring about a more open, responsive and efficient state government. A government that is accountable to New York State taxpayers?"

[Quote from her website]


You know... (0.00 / 0)
...I make no effort to hide the fact that I"m a Democrat (I even ran for the State Senate as a Democrat and WFP), but I'm first a reformer...and Maureen doesn't impress me on any level.

I have respect for Senator Balboni, for example.

In this race, even if I were a Republican, I'd go with the reformer Craig Johnsan.

We've got some work ahead of us.

Call Weitzman Too (0.00 / 0)
From newsday:

"Following protocol, Weitzman said he went to O'Connell, a Republican, for a response..."

"Allen Morrison, Weitzman's spokesman, would not say whether he would release the audit without a response. "We gave a copy of the report to the clerk's office to give them an opportunity to review the findings, in keeping with our standard practice," Morrison said."

Giving O'Connell the opportunity to respond looks more like a courtesy than a requirement. She squandered that opportunity.

While we're pressing her to cooperate, let's also encourage Weitzman to do the right thing, and release the report in a timely manner: http://www.nassaucou...

Peter King writes me Nasty Letters.



I agree that the report should be released.... (0.00 / 0)
...I doubt, however, he will do so in the political environment in which this issue now lives.

It's up to O'Connell to release, and we know there must not be kind words in the audit or else it would be touted on the front page of her web site with accompanying press releases.

We've got some work ahead of us.
