Investigation of new Democratic Chairman?

Wow, lots of talk around town of investigations. Sources tell us that Albany may be investigating Ulster County's indictment of Harvey Sleight for his part in the UC jail debacle. Former Assistant District Attorney Julian Schreibman indicted Harvey Sleight even though the statue of limitations had run out. It appears that Albany is not happy about it and there may have been some ethics violations. While the heat may come down on the current DA, in our opinion the question of ethics falls squarely on the shoulders of the prosecutor who was in with the Grand Jury. We also hear that Legislator Frank Dart has complained that he has been told the Grand Jury wanted to indict 3 others for the jail mess but were not allowed by Mr. Schreibman. Julian was campaigning for Democratic Chairman around the same time the investigation wrapped up. Was Julian playing politics with the jail investigation?

Another well known rumor is that Julian's new law practice on Wall Street has been suffering severely from a lack of business. Well placed insiders in the new Democratic leadership tell us that because of the lack of business he is working in Manhattan three days a week. Is this the reason Julian wants to change the day of the Executive Committee meetings from the longstanding Wednesdays to Mondays?

It's suffering becasue Julian is an awful attorney! Look at his record as a prosecutor, the guy had NO fucking business running for DA. He had no business even working in that office! No wonder why Holley canned his ass.

i met Julian @ an event @ Mohonk Mountain House, chaired by Susan Zimet.

I was underwhelmed by him,, he is a non-entity, & boring too.
He was wandering around the conference on property tax reform with no one to talk with & no one talking with him.

Pathetic & sad.

Let's face it - Mike Hein, Big Al and Big Pat are the defacto Dem big wigs around here.

Julian is CITO (Chairman in Title Only).

Many small business people sell goods ans services outside of Ulster to survive - they can't all work for the County or School District.
