Dear Ms. Sugarman,
I am writing to file a complaint against the Friends of Alex Gromack, Account #
C19500. The Friends of Alex Gromack, Account # C19500, is for Mr. Gromacks
campaign for Town Supervisor in Clarkstown, NY. On Jan. 11 2006, in the January
2006 Periodic Report on Schedule G, Transfers In, there is a transfer of $661,892.03
from the Friends of Alex Gromack, Account # A01272 (see attached).
Account # A01272 is for Mr. Gromacks campaign for NYS Assembly. Mr. Gromack
was a NYS Assemblyman prior to running for the position of Town Supervisor in
Clarkstown, NY.
It should be noted that the maximum contribution for the position of NYS Assembly
is greater than the maximum contribution for the position of Town Supervisor in
Clarkstown, NY. Therefore, the transfer from Mr Gromacks Assembly campaign
account in the amount of $661,892.03 to his Town Supervisor campaign account is
an over contribution and he must return the full amount immediately.
In addition, Mr. Gromacks filing for his Assembly campaign account (Account #
A01272) improperly recorded the transfer out. On Schedule H for the 2005 Off
Cycle Report for Account # A01272 there is a Transfer Out recorded in the amount
of $549,857.43 on Jan. 18, 2005. The following problems arise upon reviewing
these transactions:
- The Transfer Out from the Assembly Account occurred a year prior to the
Transfer In on the Town Supervisor Account;
- The dollar amount for the Transfer Out from the Assembly Account does not
match the dollar amount for the Transfer In recorded on the Town Supervisor
Account;
- The Assembly Account still shows a closing balance of $66,365.64 in the last
filing for that account which was the July 2006 Periodic Report.
- And if my math is correct there was an additional $112,034.60 recorded as
being transferred into Mr. Gromacks Town Supervisor account than was
transferred out of his Assembly account.
So in addition to making Mr. Gromack return the $661,892.03 from his Town
Supervisor account to his Assembly account I would like to know why the dates of
the transfers do not match and why the dollar amounts do not match. And where
did the additional $112,034.60 come from and why isnt it properly recorded?
I look forward to hearing back from you on this matter.
Sincerely,
