Sheldon Silver corruption probe is blow to New York City's bid to host DNC
DAILY NEWS - Celeste Katz

When New York Democrats pledged their delegate votes to President Obama at the party convention in
2012, former Assembly Speaker Sheldon Silver took the mic as the Empire States spokesman.

With the national party on the verge of picking a convention city for 2016, Silver is again in the spotlight
but this time, hes the target of a stunning corruption probe that could tarnish the Big Apples chances of
beating out Philadelphia and Columbus, Ohio.

What is happening with Shelly just highlights corruption in New York and is not the right message,
lamented a party officer familiar with the selection process.

Its not the image that the Democratic Party would want to cultivate.

A Democratic city lawmaker groused, It will be hard for the (Democratic National Committee) to plan a
convention in a state where (the nominee might) have to stand on a stage with a speaker facing ethics
charges.

A Silver representative declined to comment.

Although Hillary Clinton has yet to declare her intentions, Republicans are already targeting her as the
Dems presumptive 2016 nominee.

A DNC official wouldnt comment on the impact Silvers arrest would have on the bid, but said that the
decision will be based primarily on logistics, financing and security.

We have Eric Adams and Frannys op-ed into their boroughs section.
