High-ranking members of Congress were flown to a lush Caribbean resort this month for a three-day conference planned and paid for by several of the country's most powerful corporations - a violation of federal ethics rules, critics say.
Six members of the Congressional Black Caucus attended the 13th annual Caribbean Multi-National Business Conference in sun-drenched St. Maarten, including embattled Harlem Rep. Charles Rangel and New Jersey Rep. Donald Payne.
Three New York City officials attended, including Comptroller William Thompson and Bronx Borough President Adolfo Carrion Jr., as well as Gov. Paterson, who was the keynote speaker at a luncheon on the second day of the gathering.

Violation of ethics rules? Lush Caribbean resort? Never mind, they are Democrats so it’s OK. Nothing to see here, folks, move on...

It’s racist to point out unethical behavior of blacks. The Post should be shut down.

Man, I’ll bet pelosis it ticked. Not only didn’t she get to go, but now will have to keep this hidden from the general public or defend them if it does get out.

Not to worry.
They are Democrats.
It isn’t corruption when they do it.

Here's the "get out of jail free" card
Kerry McKenney, a spokeswoman for Payne, told The Post: "It was our understanding that the trip was sponsored by the Carib News Foundation. We are unaware of any corporate sponsors."

Well, that was a nice little chunk of “change”, I guess.
Business as usual....

This kind of behavior will really get much worse with the leftists in total control of everything. Massachusetts state politics have been dominated by the political left since the 1950’s, and Massachusetts politics have also been very corrupt for the same amount of time.

Crooks aren't into self control; that's a big reason they became crooks. Evil always oversteps it's bounds.

I hope that these A$$ Hats have MANY more of these junkets to foreign shores in the Carib. Soon we will have Venezualans, Chi-Coms, and Cubans doing intel on them,for blackmail and assassination purposes.
If we luck out, maybe we will be rid of the whole lot of these megalomanic prigs.
Any of them have former military service? If so they should know better.
