With his black dress shirts and cigarette always in hand, John Dote always looked the part of the Utica political Don....Now he has the indictments to go with it. Oneida County Indy Chair John Dote is named in a 27 count indictment related to used of campaign contributions for personal purposes....
None of this is any shocker....the notion that minor party endorsements are often nothing more than a commodity....Its shocking to me that anyone is shocked to hear about it.
Members of the Legislature dutifully pay homage to party bosses and money is the coin of the realm in many cases....It just has to be dressed up the right way......Winks and nods are the game in the Capital...Must be John was allegedly too obvious, or p----- somebody off.
In any event, the Independence Party has slipped to Line E on the ballot....In the commodity market of politics that's a down tick.....
Another Indy Party Indictment
