Disgraced Queens State Senator Hiram Monserrate To Face Federal Corruption Charges

(Tuesday, October 19th, 2010)

Multiple media reports state that disgraced former Queens State Senator Hiram Monserrate has surrendered to federal authorities.

Monserrate is facing charges related to an investigation into a not-for-profit agency that got hundreds of thousands of tax dollars while Monserrate was a member of the City Council.

The investigation is believed to have found that campaign workers from Monserrate’s first failed Senate run used public money to get signatures for petitions, register voters, and perform other campaign jobs.
