Assemblywoman Joan Millman Admits to DOUBLE-DIPPING:
Collects Two Government Paychecks at the Same Time

Then Lied in a Debate about Having No Alternative


At a debate held last week by the Brooklyn Paper, Assemblywoman Joan Millman admitted that she collects two taxpayer-funded paychecks: A six-figure salary (when lulus and perks are added in) for her position in the Legislature, and a government pension whose amount is unknown because Millman failed to list the amount on her state financial fillings even though she is legally required to do so. Millman's Financial Report can be viewed at

A video of the Brooklyn Paper debate in which challenger Doug Biviano gets Millman to admit that she is double dipping is available on YouTube

At that debate, Millman lied when she reported that she could not defer her pension. Not so, the online editions of the Brooklyn Paper and New York Post reported yesterday:  “Actually, you can (defer your pension). According to the Teachers Retirement System website, educators can voluntarily suspend their retirement allowance by filing a ‘Retirement Allowance Suspension / Resumption Form.’”

When it Comes to Reporting on Government,

Our Press is Dysfunctional Also


Doug Biviano, candidate for NY State Assembly, asks a simple question of the local media:  “If you want to throw the bums out for what they have done to our state, why are you not following the candidates who are challenging the bums?” Biviano is so frustrated about the media’s lack of ability to perform its primary function of informing the public that he decided to make a short Michael Moore-type film about it (view online video).

 
Danger at Pier 6 Playground ... Still going

After Doug wrote a letter to Regina Myer and the Brooklyn Bridge Development Corp. about the child safety hazards at the $54 million playround at Pier 6, the Brooklyn Heights Blog asked Doug to do a video pointing out some of the hazards.

To date and after subsequent letters, only the exposed 8" conduit stub at the base of the boulders, waiting to impale a child jumping or falling off a boulder, was repaired. Doug's opponent, Assemblywoman Joan Millman, has also remained silent on the issue.
