White Plains CitizeNetReporter - <i>Quo Warranto Panel</i> Hears Delgado Thursday AM, Hockley in PM

WPCNR AFTERNOON TRIB & POST. By John F. Bailey. September 26, 2002: Jeffrey Binder, attorney for Larry Delgado, the Councilman who lost his seat to Glen Hockley in the 2001 election where a voting machine jammed, in White Plains District 18, said Mr. Delgado’s meeting with Attorney General Elliot Spitzer’s Quo Warranto Panel “went very well,” Thursday morning at the Attorney General offices in New York.

Binder told WPCNR that Mr. Delgado “was at his eloquent best and put matters into context” for the three Assistants Attorney General conducting the review for the Attorney General. Binder reports that the three-person panel “has clearly done a lot of their homework, and they are in the process of preparing their report to go to the Attorney General.”

Binder said that report would make a recommendation to the Attorney General as to whether or not to intitiate a quo warranto proceeding to remove Mr. Hockley from his Council seat. Binder reports the three attorneys as saying that the investigation “has moved relatively slowly and that is to be above to conduct as thorough an investigation as possible.”

“A matter of weeks, not months.”

Asked whether the Attorney General’s investigators had indicated if Mr. Spitzer would make his decision before the election, November 5, Binder said the decision, he got the impression would be made “in a matter of weeks, not months.”

Binder said the panel was scheduled to speak with Mr. Hockly Thursday afternoon.
