A letter is circulating that purports to have information about Turbo Dynamics' Parviz Lavi and his campaign contributions to Congressman Steve Israel. There are two issues here:
1. Mr. Parviz Lavi had been arrested back in 1998 on charges of scheming to smuggle jet parts to Iran
2. Congressman Israel accepted contributions from this man and, it APPEARS, that in return Mr. Lavi's company, Turbo Dynamics of Plainview, received quite a bit of defense contracts
And where is the local media regarding this? With less than three weeks to go in the election not one newspaper is reporting this information.
Further, the Muffin Man had voted YES to the Disclose Act, which would "curtail the ability of corporations and other special interest groups to influence elections by requiring greater disclosure of their role in paying for campaign advertising." Talk about being a hypocrite!! But, I guess it's the same as being a career politician.
