NYPD Chief Casts Doubt on Giuliani Expense Story
Source: ABC News

New questions were raised today about Rudy Giuliani's explanation for submitting police security expenses to obscure city agencies while he was mayor of New York and carried on a secret affair with his mistress, who also was given a police driver and city car.

Giuliani said Thursday the unusual billing practice was not intended to hide anything but instead to speed payment of American Express credit card bills.

But the current New York Police Commissioner Ray Kelly said today he knew of no problems with the delay of payments before Giuliani was mayor, when Kelly served under Mayor David Dinkins, or since.

"I don't recall anybody, any statements about delay," Kelly told reporters.

He said all bills for the police details for Dinkins and now for Mayor Mike Bloomberg are handled directly "through the police department."

4. Yup. For much less - and after we knowingly elected him. Hevesi was driving
his sick mother with the office car - no mistress and no six figures expenses. Just time and gas.

2. Don't you know that all billings in all municipalities are spread out
throughout all the agencies to keep everyone busy with the bills. It's called big government.:sarcasm: I laughed my ass off when Rudy called it normal billing. The media is really slooooooooooow with this story. The print is way ahead of them.
