It looks like Sandy Treadwell is once again helping to bankroll another scandal plagued politician - this time it's Harry Tutunjian, the mayor of Troy who's now under special investigation as to whether he collaborated with three of his appointees in using county-owned materials to lie to city voters.
From The Troy Polloi:
Scandal rocked City Hall on Friday as three Tutunjian appointees were accused of using a city office, vehicle, phone and County employee to lie to city voters. The allegations came from Colleen Regan, a former Rensselaer County employee. In her affidavit, Ms. Regan describes a county government steeped in a culture of intimidation and arrogance.
Apparently Treadwell seems to have no problem with the "culture of intimidation and arrogance" down in Troy:
Alexander "Sandy" Treadwell, former state Republican chairman and current candidate in the 20th Congressional District, will host a $250-a-head fundraiser for Troy Mayor Harry Tutunjian, who is seeking re-election this fall.
The event will be held at 5:30 p.m., on June 4 at the Tosca Grille on Broadway, just a short walk from City Hall.
While part of Rensselaer County is in the 20th Congressional District, Troy is in the 21st Congressional District, represented by U.S. Rep. Michael McNulty, D-Green Island.
U.S. Rep. Kirsten Gillibrand, D-Greenport, defeated incumbent and Troy native son John Sweeney in November to win the 20th Congressional District seat.
