New York – Following an unsuccessful bid to get himself on the ballot for a delegate’s seat at this week’s upcoming judicial convention, former Assembly speaker Sheldon Silver is still attempting to wield his power over the state judiciary by running a proxy, his Chief of Staff, Judy Rapfogel.
NYPOST.com reports that Rapfogel’s name was placed into nomination by Silver’s Harry S. Truman Democratic Club for the vote which is set to take place on Thursday.
Rapfogel, who has maintained a public silence on both her William Rapfogel’s conviction on theft of about $9M from the Metropolitan Council on Jewish Poverty and Silver’s indictment on fraud and extortion charges, rakes in over $180,000 annually as Silver’s chief of staff.
