DSCC requirement to use Parkside for mailers reminiscent of Norman's requirement to use Lendler [UPDATED] (Progress Queens) Former Brooklyn Democratic Party chair Clarence Norman was indicted and later convicted for requiring judicial candidates to use party-favored political campaign vendors. Prosecutors said Mr. Norman had coerced two candidates for civil court judge to pay thousands of dollars to favored campaign consultants, or lose his organization’s support in the 2002 primary. In due course, Mr. Norman was found guilty in a jury trial of "coercion, grand larceny by extortion and attempted grand larceny by extortion" stemming from charges of having "coerced two candidates for civil court judge to pay thousands of dollars to favored campaign consultants, or lose his organization’s support in the 2002 primary," according to a 2007 report published by The New York Times.
Gianaris Forces Senate Candidates to Hire Parkside
The New York Democratic Senate Campaign Committee, or DSCC, headed by State SenatorMichael Gianaris (D-Queens), required that "DSCC-backed candidates must use Parkside to print their campaign mail, an arrangement some Democrats have long bristled at," according to a report published by inThe New York Observer. Parkside as of the last filing pulled in about $3.6 million this year. Primarily their services include direct mail, television ads, Polling and cards or literature. Sources say that in many instances Parkside representatives made clear to the candidates that if they do not use their services, they will not be receiving DSCC money. Sometimes that was made clear in the form of a threat, other times it was demonstrated through pulled support. The case many Democrats point to is Justin Wagner who ran the last two cycles for the seat currently occupied by Republican Senator Greg Ball. Wagner wouldn’t sign on to Parkside, and as a result he got limited help from the DSCC. Even though that was an open seat and a potential pickup for the Democrats. Finally, there were charges that Parkside “acted in their own self interest rather than what is best for the Senate.” With DSCC Chairman State Senator Michael Gianaris of Queens acting as “an account manager for Parkside.” And if any Chairman was coming out of dramatic losses such as these, he or she “shouldn’t be in a job any longer.

Backlash Against Parkside
Post-Election Grumbling But a handful of Democratic insiders who worked on various losing campaigns this past cycle have started to question the methodology of the Democratic Senate Campaign Committee and their preferred vendor in many instances, The Parkside Group.Evan Stavisky's Parkside Group was over $175,000 by the DSCC to lost the senate in 2014. In both 2010 and 2012 Parkside was also paid over $2 million to lost the senate During the 2008 election cycle, when Democrats won back the majority, the DSCC’s main consultant was Red Horse Strategies. Red House according to Parkside was helped by the the big Obama sweep in 2008. In 2012 Parkside's take of $2.2 from the DSCC also help drive that committee into debt. In 2011 Parkside had to be removed from the Weprin congressional campaign because of incompetent work. Parkside ran the $7.5 million campaign for the real estate Pac Jobs for New York which lost the council speaker position for the Queens organization for the first tine in a generation.
.@NYSenateDems deny they leaned on candidates to use @ParksideGroup. Emails suggest otherwise...
The DSCC Parkside Connection(YNN) Last month the Democratic Senate Campaign Committee and its preferred consultant, The Parkside Group, took issue with a posting that candidates were leaned on to use Parkside in advance of the November elections. Senate Democrats lost just enough seats to ensure their minority status for at least the next two years. And while ultimately Democrats blame the “Republican Wave” for their losses, some losing candidates stepped forward to question the DSCC’s alliance with Parkside. Now comes an email chain we’ve obtained that could help illustrate the point. As background, the emails are between a staffer from the campaign of Democratic State Senate Candidate Brian Howard, who was running against Republican Kathy Marchione in the 43rd District, and a representative from the DSCC. The Howard Campaign, which was at a significant fundraising disadvantage, wanted to do a robocall to targeted voters. Howard was getting zero financial help from the DSCC. But the campaign was seeking information about voters in the district from Vote Builder, a database the DSCC controls that contains voter information from the New York State Board of Elections. That information about targeted voters can be customized, and it’s a valuable resource to all campaigns. In this case, the Howard camp needed help exporting the file to the company it had hired to do the robocall. A representative from the DSCC did not like that a company other than Parkside was hired, and said as much in this email chain from October. It’s between Joe Billick, representing the DSCC and a campaign staffer who has asked not to be identified. That staffer writes the first email.

Gianaris Allows Parkside to Over Spend On Lost Cause Races
Another oft cited example by Democrats is Adam Haber who ran against Republican incumbent Jack Martins on Long Island . Haber spent close to $2 million, much of it his own money. That’s far more than any other Democrat. Roughly $393,000 of that went to Parkside. Insiders say polls never really showed Haber within striking distance, but that did not stop the DSCC or Parkside from taking his money. Lots of it. Parkside also did Haber’s ads, and according to the last filing took $300,000 for them. But in one example of what some call sloppy management, Cablevision was forced to pull one of those ads off the air because it failed to meet a basic requirement. That’s some amateur hour nonsense, according to one insider. Ultimately Haber lost by 12 points.

All told, 134 separate contributions were made to the real estate PAC, via checks submitted by subsidiaries of major corporations with obscure names like 1345 Cleaning Service Co., II LP, and TS/TSCE India Nominee LLC. In an effort to determine who exactly was writing the checks, CUNY Graduate School of Journalism students osifted through property records, corporate registrations and court documents to identify the names behind the corporate donors. The search revealed a who’s who of New York’s real estate heavyweights, including many of the city’s most active developers. Eighteen of the 26 major companies responsible for the bulk of the donations, the investigation found, are included on the official “Doing Business” list compiled by the Mayor’s Office of Contracts. Under a 2007 city law (see “Business Donors Get Around NYC Campaign Curbs“), principals of those firms are limited to a maximum donation of $400 per candidate. But when it comes to the independent spending authorized by Citizens United, all gloves are off, and records show that the city’s real estate industry made the most of it.

Parkside Business Going Down
Meanwhile, firms close to the Queens Democratic Party—such as the ninth-ranked Parkside Group, which runs the campaigns of many Queens-backed candidates and earned $1.7 million from city lobbying in 2012—could find the speaker's office less friendly than when it was ruled by Ms. Quinn, who owed her position in large part to Queens Democrats. Last year was the first time a speaker race was decided without the organization supplying votes, and spoils of victory—key staff positions and committee chairmanships—mostly went elsewhere.
Parkside also ran a controversial $8 million campaign funded by the real estate industry last year targeting City Council races. The negativity of some of its mailers rankled officials who have since emerged as power brokers, such as Brooklyn Councilman Brad Lander.

been alarmed at how badly things have gone," one leading Dem said.
It's not unusual for the DCCC to jump heavily into a special election
- but in a 3-to-1 Democratic district, Weprin wasn't supposed to
need it. "There's so much more to lose here than a single
congressional seat," said one Democratic strategist. * Both Weprin and the DCCC deny rumors

Brooklyn DA Ignores Repeated Complaints That Lopez Lives In Queens
In 2005 the NYP published a story Norman's Successor Facing Own Scandal
that claimed three activists have filed a complaint with the Brooklyn
DA, alleging Lopez used a fake address on his voter-registration form
and doesn't live in his Brooklyn district. Instead, say the activists,
Lopez for years has shacked up in a Queens condo owned by his Former
Brooklyn Democratic party boss girl friend, Planning Commissioner
Angela Battaglia. Garber, an activist in Lopez's district who has
worked against Lopez-backed judicial candidates, said the pol's alleged
fake address has been an open secret among insiders for years. In 2010
the Daily News said Brooklyn Dem boss Vito Lopez is hard to find at Bushwick home, but spends much of his time in Queens
The Daily News found Lopez arriving at night and leaving in the morning
from a condominium owned by his longtime girlfriend, Angela Battaglia -
in Ridgewood, Queens.
From Nanuet Patch:
Rockland Democrats gathered at Clarkstown Town Hall Thursday evening to elect Kristin Zebrowski-Stavisky their new chairwoman.
Stavisky, 40, is the sister of Assemblyman Kenneth Zebrowski, D-New City.
And in case you haven't figured it out, she's also the wife of Evan Stavisky.
So Rockland County Democratic Party Chair Kristen Stavisky lives in a big house in Rockland County & her District Leader husband Evan Stavisky lives in a small apartment in Queens?
It couldn't be that he needs to be a resident of Queens to be a District Leader there and continue his "Pay to Play" game of handing out Democratic Party Endorsements?
Why doesn't anyone challenge this?

From Nanuet Patch:Rockland Democrats gathered at Clarkstown Town Hall Thursday evening to elect Kristin Zebrowski-Stavisky their new chairwoman.
Stavisky, 40, is the sister of Assemblyman Kenneth Zebrowski, D-New City.
And in case you haven't figured it out, she's also the wife of Evan Stavisky.
So Rockland County Democratic Party Chair Kristen Stavisky lives in a big house in Rockland County & her District Leader husband Evan Stavisky lives in a small apartment in Queens?
It couldn't be that he needs to be a resident of Queens to be a District Leader there and continue his "Pay to Play" game of handing out Democratic Party Endorsements?
Why doesn't anyone challenge this?

Campaign Consultant Red Horse Out to Get Parkside
To Parkside Its Not About Winning or Losing it All About the Queens' Machine and $$$
There seems to be a fight breaking out as both consultant group Parkside and Red Horse snip at each other to gain control of the lucrative Democrat State Senate Business contract. Parkside seem to be comfortable in as their guy, who they helped elect Queens' machine flunky Senator Michael Gianaris is running Democrat Senate Campaign Committee. Paskside staying power comes from their close relationship with the Queens' Boss Crowley who protects them even after they lose big.
Parkside Lost With Weprin in a 3 to 1 Democratic District
Gianaris is keeping parkside even though they were the lead consultants in 2010 that lost control of a senate majority. During the 2008 election cycle, when Democrats won back the majority, the DSCC’s main consultant was Red Horse Strategies. Red House according to Parkside was helped by the the big Obama sweep in 2008. Parkside's take of $2.2 from the DSCC also help drive that committee into debt. Last year Parkside had to be removed from the Weprin campaign because of incompetent work. The media protect Parkside who regularly tips off reporters to breaking political stories. That why then never reported that Evan Stavisky is most probably serving illegally as a district leader in Queens. The Parkside Group's Evan Stavisky wife is the Democratic leader from Rockland County.
Mclaughlin Helped Create Parkside, Many of the Groups That Brian Was Convicted for Ripping Off Worked for Parkside
Evan is a district leader in 26th Assembly District in Queens. Before the slush fund scandal broke Parkside was paid a total of $1.7 million by more than 40 clients last year, many of them nonprofit receiving member items from the city council.In 2005 in a NYT article Dick Dadey executive director of Citizens Union expressed concern about what he called "a growing problem" of council members being lobbied by firms that serve as political consultants to many of them. * A Letter to Garcia: (Michael) Garcia U.S. Attorney * Two Democratic state senators who may get drawn into the same district share Parkside Group as consultants.

Why Does the Media, Pols and DA's Protect Parkside and Vito Lopez and Watch O'Hara Be Destroyed for Residency
Why was John Kennedy O'Hara convicted for illegal voting by Brooklyn DA Joe Hynes for running for office out of his girlfriend's residence. While Evan Stavisky gets away with being registered in Queens while he lives with his wife in Rockland County? Lawyer O'Hara lost his law license which destroyed his life, while Stavisky makes millions with an incompetent politically connected consultant company? Why does the press ignore this outrageous legal injustice? They don't care and they are too dumb to understand. * O'Hara and Stavisky Voting Residence Injustice While the Media looks the other way(True News) * http://www.freejohnohara.com/index.html
NY's Politicals Consultant Monopoly
Parkside Consultants Lobbyist Can't Lose When They Lose Pathetically
A
Few months ago according to news reports the Parkside Group was doing
such a bad job on the Weprin Campaign for congress that the national
democratic campaign committee tied to removed them. Weprin lost in a 3
to 1 democratic district. That not the biggest recent failure for
Parkside. The consultants group after getting paid $2.2 million helped
lose the senate for the democrats.
Queens Machine Protests Parkside
You would think loss after loss would lose them some work. Not a chance. Queens machine hacks Assemblyman Rory Lancman and Senator Michael
Gianaris hired them again. Lancman for his congressional campaign
against Turner nd Gianaris who is head of DSCC, for working for the
senate democrats attempt to regain control of the senate in 2012. Getting a shot at redemption * Queens Crap: To whom should the finger of blame point?
Parkside Has Built A Monopoly Through Their Partnership With the Corrupt Queens Democratic Organization
Mclaughlin Helped Create Parkside, Many of the Groups That Brian Was Convicted for Ripping Off Hired Parkside As A Consultant
Parkside worked for Mclaughlin and the Petrocelli
lighting company who Brian was convicted of fixing the city's biding
process. Mclaughlin was also convicted for ripping off his own union
that Parkside worked for. Parkside runs almost ever campaign for the Queens Democratic Organization. * Consultants Parkside Come To Crowley’s Defense After Weprin Defeat. Both Parkside and Crowley have gamed the Election system to make $$$ In Queens, Political Center Is in Surrogate's Court - NYTimes.com.
Crowley
hangs onto power mostly through their operative Parkside and mike
Nussbaum Multi Media which is both a political consultant and VP or a
lot of Queens Newspapers. Relationships between consultants are not
required to be recorded. So there is no way to tell how big Parkside
Monopoly of politics, lobbying and local journalism is in Queens. A Takeover Of Journalism by Lobbyist and Politicians.
Most to the state election Parkside runs in Queens are fixed special
elections that does not require heavy lifting to win. In the council
races in 2009 Parkside faced matching funds and multi-candidates field.
In those races Parkside lost 5 of the 6 Queens races they ran.
Organize Crime Politics and Lobbying: Make Money From Government or Connections to Government
Parkside was very deeply involved in the city council slush fund scandal. Stavisky group was paid a total of $1.7 million by more than 40 clients in 2005, nonprofit receiving member items from the city council. In 2005 in a NYT article Dick Dadey executive director of Citizens Union expressed concern about what he called "a growing problem" of council members being lobbied by firms that serve as political consultants to many of them.
The 2005 Parkside Slush Fund Coup d'état of NYC's Government
Parkside Group, carved out a dual role in New York politics: as lobbyist for nonprofit groups seeking city money and as a political consultant to a dozen council members, including the speaker and the Finance Committee chairman, who have a major hand in approving budget requests from those same groups. Miller who became so close to Parkside after it helped him win his speaker post asked one of Parkside partners to help him hire a chief of staff. Did Parkside Get Funds from Millers Slush Fund? In 2004, Miller launched his ill-fated drive to become mayor right from Parkside's offices. Lobbyists' Role in Council Slush Fund Scandal Probed (City Sun 2008) There was an ethics bill floated to stop Parkside and other consultants who lobby, but was never passed by the council. A Letter to Garcia: (Michael) Garcia U.S. Attorney
The Press Enables Parkside's Corruption
The media protect Parkside who regularly tips off reporters to breaking political stories. That why then never reported that Evan Stavisky is most probably serving illegally as a district leader in Queens. Parkside's Evan Stavisky wife is the Democratic leader from Rockland County.
How the Media, Pols and DA's Protect Parkside and Ignore Injustice
Why was John Kennedy O'Hara convicted for illegal voting
by Brooklyn DA Joe Hynes for running for office out of his
girlfriend's residence. While Evan Stavisky gets away with being
registered in Queens while he lives with his wife in Rockland County?
Lawyer O'Hara lost his law license which destroyed his life, while
Stavisky makes millions with an incompetent politically connected
consultant company? Why does the press ignore this outrageous legal
injustice? They don't care and they are too dumb to understand.

True News Wags City and State
A Crack in the Journalism Blue Wall of Silence to Protect Parkside Lobbyists and Consultants and their Residency Problem
Last Thursday True News reported that Parkside Evan Stravisky was a district leader in Queens while his wife is the Democratic leader from Rockland County. Today's City and State reports the same NY's Politicals Consultant Monopoly True News has been writing about that arrangement for the past year without a single other publication or reporter picking that up until today. What city and state left out and was it True News is that the Queens Democratic Party protect Parkside. Why else would Rory Lancman who is running for congress hire them after they failed so badly in the Weprin campaign in the same district. Why would the DSCC hire them again after they were the consultants that ran the 2010 campaign where they lost their majority.
Evan leading a dual existance?

The Worst Kept Secret In Queens (Queens Politics)
HERE’S A QUICK WAY TO BREAK UP A SYNDICATE(Queens Politics)
After Losing the State Senate Parkside FK Up Again
Parkside Got $2.2 Million from the Democratic State Senate Committee
The rumor floating through Democratic circles yesterday was that the Democratic Congressional Campaign Committee had stepped in to take control of Assemblyman DavidWeprin's floundering campaign from the Parkside Group. Everyone involved denied it, and the DCCC would legally only be allowed to work in coordination with Weprin's campaign, but there's no denying the Democrat's half-million-dollar ad buy has also garnered it a stronger role in the Ninth Congressional District race. "Everyone has just been alarmed at how badly things have gone," one leading Dem said. It's not unusual for the DCCC to jump heavily into a special election - but in a 3-to-1 Democratic district, Weprin wasn't supposed to need it. "There's so much more to lose here than a single congressional seat," said one Democratic strategist. * Both Weprin and the DCCC deny rumors that the Parkside Group has been squeezed out of running the assemblyman’s campaign as he appears to be foundering against Bob Turner.
