Nassau County Legislator Roger Corbin |
Lead | |
|
According to newsday approx 1 hr ago Roger Corbin was arrested by the IRS and the FBI in a joint task force of crime on Politics on Long Island. This is only
one but could it be the first of many? He was arrested for taking 226,000.00 from a developer and lying to federal officials.

The Nassau Democrats should immediately call for his resignation and a special election. When Williams did wrong in the other AA District, he resigned and was
replaced with a very strong candidate in Keavan Abrahams! This could happen in Corbins district as well!

You're right, but the presiding officer Yaturo has already stated that corbin is innocent until proven guilty and will remain. I think this will change
but Corbin may decide to ride it out. I understand that he signed a paper admitting his guilt and lying to an officer, that may be why Fred Brewington who was
his lawyer is not representing him. Only time will tell. Stay tuned same channel, same time. We will see what happens tomorrow. This is a culmination of a
4 year investigation here on Long Island, I wonder how many other politicians heads will fall. Could be interesting.

Sorry Red | ||

Roger is history, if he behaves and does not turn they might find a job for him in the private sector.

I just hope the community puts up a strong Democrat in the primary to get rid of Corbin. This is a heavy Democratic District and the Republicans will not be
competitive here but Roger needs to go!

It is a strong Democrat district. Rumor has it that Jay Jacobs has already made up his mind to nominate someone else. Corbin will probably primary him. I
don't think that district will turn republican even if corbin wins a primary.

nor do I, there would have to be a three way race with a black Democrat and another Black Democrat running on a third party and a Black Republican like what
happened in the Abrahams seat back in 1995 with Brewington and I forgot her name but Earlene Hooper put her up and the Black Republican won with 39% of the
vote!

Roger Corbin now has his attorney trying to get the Federal government to drop charges and take him in a civil manner. The only thing wrong with this is that
he lied to federal agents and the underlying question has not been answered. Why was Roger Corbin given 226,000.00 from a developer on a federal project in
his district? Was it so he could take short cuts or maybe because he only got the job when pressed for the money. Regardless of the reason Roger took the
money and spent it on himself and his family. It also brings up the questions of was this the first time for corbin? How many times has he done this? Time
for a real investigation.

Hopefully history will repeat itself. Especially if Roger Corbin refuses to go away.

Roger Corbin a liar | ||

Roger please answer the questions. Why did you lie not once but three times to federal agents if you were not guilty? Why did you accept 226,000 from a
federal contractor doing a job in the district you represent? If you stick with what you told the newsday reporter , isn't that also a conflict of
interest? Roger do everyone a favor, take the deal and go away quietly.

Roger still wants to run for re election ,guess he wants to take the democrats down with him ,but things could change . Several democrat seats could be at risk
this time .

Corbin the guilt is overwhelmming | ||
|
Roger will meet with Boss Jacobs today to decide if the party will back him or if he will have to primary.

Why would the democrats tolerate Roger Corbin now that everyone knows the truth ? They must throw him in front of the train or arnsberger's prediction will
come to pass.
