Colby Hamilton
A special prosecutor has begun issuing subpoenas in the long-stalled investigation into the 2009 campaign activities of the Working Families Party, with a grand jury scheduled to be impaneled next month.
Having met with the people who operateor should I say conductgrand jury operations in Staten Island, what will now be called Grand Jury Number Two will be impaneled on Friday, September 5, said Roger Adler, the special prosecutor, during a phone interview.
Adler declined to provide specifics on who was being subpoenaed, but did mention the political action committees of the member unions that make up the Working Families Party, as well as officials with the citys Campaign Finance Board.
At least one of those unions, 1199 SEIU, acknowledged through its political director, Kevin Finnegan, that it is cooperating with subpoenas and has retained counsel.
