Monkeys do fly.
Before running for office, as an illegal, Ms. Rosa worked as a staff member in the City Council and the Assembly. She served as chief of staff to former City Councilman Miguel Martinez....Martinez pleaded guilty in 2009 to stealing more than $100,000 through his Council office and a pair of tax-exempt nonprofit organizations.
NOTE: If she knew of, and failed to report misuse of tax dollars, she could be adjudged guilty of a crime.
Ms. Rosa campaigned on behalf of fellow Dominican-American legislator, State Senator Adriano D. Espaillat, who lost a Democratic primary challenge to Representative Charles B. Rangel. Mr. Espaillat was a key supporter of Ms. Rosa’s when she ran for the Assembly.

The FBI was (is?) hot on the tail of NY state Democrat Sen. Adriano Espaillat (D-Manhattan), a Dominican Republic native, and his penchant for sucking up tax dollars for so-called “needy latino community groups.” Dominican-born Democrat Espaillat sucked up 100 “member items” as an assemblyman, including $500,000 public monies for his tax-exempt nonprofit, the grandiously named, “Northern Manhattan Coalition for Economic Development.”
(NOTE WELL: “Member items” is a nauseating extortion scam for greedy NY state legislative members---several have been nailed for similar scams).
DOMINICAN-BORN DEMOCRAT ESPAILLAT IS KNOWN AS SENATOR PORK----FBI agents want to know about Democrat Espillat’s use of public monies for “needy groups” that employed a covey of Dominican Republic natives including Espaillat’s sister-in- law, a Democratic district leader and several campaign consultants.
FBI scrutiny comes as DEMOCRAT Espaillat’s ex-COS sings about Albany corruption---after he got wired for the FBI. Nelson Castro, a Dominican Republic native, got wired to save himself—---earlier, he lied to the FBI WRT a parade of Dominican Republic illegals, who elected him using corrupt methods including registering to vote in several districts---even using Castro’s address to register.
Espillat zipped his lips when asked whether Dominican Democrat Castro was singing to the FBI about Espaillat. BTW, Espaillat’s economic development scam closed down in 2011 when the electorate was onto the member items scam. But Espillat appointed his scammong n/p’s executive director to a $50,000-a-year job as Sen Espaillat’s “special assistant.”
(Mmmmmm.....sure would like to see Dominican Republic native Nurys de Oleo's job description---up against his actual state duties for Espaillat.) NOTE Some material gleaned from NY Post reporting.
===============================================
The Rangel/Espaillat race was being touted as a symbol of latino voting strength---since it had morphed from an Afro district to a latino district.
