McCarthy (L.I.) is the club's junior member, though her filing is so long House aides posted a sign asking reporters not to print it.

She owns $684,000 in stocks, plus a Westhampton rental house worth up to $1 million.

How the hell did this woman suddenly become a real estate mogul and amass a large securities portfolio? When her husband was killed, she was a nurse (not even an RN) living in a small house in a lower middle class neighborhood. But since entering government, she's now a millionaire???

I remember when her son was maimed (in the same shooting that killed her husband) and a charitable fund was set up because they couldn't afford his medical care! (And those who donated to the fund were then hit up -- on a steady basis -- for political contributions.)

I don’t care how rich they or anyone else is. I am concerned when politicians get rich from “public service.”

Those are questions you, citizen, are not permitted to ask. They might even be sexist questions. Our betters know what is best for us, and they work so hard...it wouldn't be right for us to begrudge them their fair share of what they might have earned had they not made the selfless commitment to public service. ;)

I’m with you. And I believe she was separated from the husband who died at the time of the LIRR massacre as well. Perhaps, since they were not divorced, his life insurance policy played a role? And was there some kind of settlement from the LIRR? Otherwise all of these gains are, IMHO, ill-gotten as they have all come from her years as a “public servant”.
