Bianchi Arrested, Pleads Guilty To Election Law Violation
posted by Greg Cotterill on Tuesday June 26th 3:26pm
Seneca County Republican Chairman Angelo Bianchi was arrested Monday and charged with violating election laws.
Bianchi plead guilty Monday night in Junius Town Court. Court documents accused Bianchi of collecting political donations totaling $5,450 from individuals and depositing the money into his personal account. Bianchi then used the money to make political contributions in his own name. The money was collected between January 2004 and December 2004.
Junius Town Justice Brian Laird fined Bianchi $100 and gave him a year conditional discharge. One of the conditions of the discharge is that Bianchi step down as the Seneca County Republican Chairman.
Get feed.
There is more to this story than the above article knows.
Mr. Bianchi was not arrested. He paid a small fine.
His infraction was a technical one which is shown by the fact that he paid a fine smaller than most traffic tickets.
It would be hard to find a better friend of the county than Mr. Bianchi. Ask those who know the story.
