The photos you have just reviewed are the culmination of nearly nine years of futile effort to end such abuses.  Efforts that brought only censure to myself in a classic case of "shoot the messenger".  The results of the damage they portray, the events leading up to and connected with them, were swept under the rug.

Without your help its obvious to me such actions shall continue unabated.  Please join me in urging Governor Pataki to investigate the matter by going to www.state.ny.us , click on Governor George E Pataki next to his picture and then on Contact the Governor on the left of the page.

Thank You
