Millionaire Dies, Hinchey Gets Kroch Money
A shady fellow by the moniker Michael Zinn died alone in a freak plane accident. Michael Zinn truly lived the American Dream, first by starting a huge business out of his shed, and then being sent to a federal prison for bypassing election laws. Guess whose campaign Zinn worked on. That's right— Maurice's! Zinn was Hinchey's financial chairman. Hinchey was never charged with anything, by hey. Guilt by association.
In a completely unrelated matter, Hinchey forced the federal government to fork over $250,000 for, get this, a library. Apparently, there's this whole exhibit on Native American culture that used to be in a museum downstate. But due to that museum's financial destitution, the artifacts needed a new home. After an extensive state-wide search, the Carl A. Kroch Library at Cornell was deemed acceptable. The whole collection was worth $8.3 million, but Cornell managed to haggle it all the way down to $2.5 million. Suckers!
Is this a case of pork spending? I sure think it is. $250,000 on a museum exhibit?! Well, at least Hinchey's not as bad as some Representatives.
