Well isn’t that special… politicians will never cease to amaze me and how they use and abuse their power and offices.
New York Democrat Billed Taxpayers for Phone Sex Call by Robert B. Bluey
Democrat congressional candidate Mike Arcuri, while serving as district attorney of Oneida County, N.Y., has billed taxpayers for several questionable expenses, including a call to a phone-sex hotline, according to records obtained by HumanEvents.com.
Arcuri, running in New York’s 24th District against Republican Ray Meier, has spent the past 12 years as Oneida County’s district attorney. During that period, his annual expense reimbursements have skyrocketed. From 1998 to 2005, they increased nearly 7,000%.
1998 $763.70
1999 $1,731.37
2000 $2,052.79
2001 $2,753.25
2002 $5,415.80
2003 $33,896.82
2004 $33,756.87
2005 $54,077.74
A close examination of those expense reports reveals that Arcuri billed taxpayers in 2004 for a call to a phone-sex number. (Audio is available here. Some may be offended by its contents.) The phone number appears on Arcuri’s hotel bill. He was attending the New York State District Attorneys Association conference in New York City at the time.

Follow-up comment rss or Leave a TrackbackThe phone number that Arcuri dialed was (800) 457-8462.
But if you replace that (800) with (518) (Albany’s area code)…
you get the New York State Department of Criminal Justice Services. Arcuri is a district attorney. When he got the phone sex number, he hung up…
Dont be a shill for Tom Reynolds…
Here is more……. if you are going to attack me adam, use the whole thing..
(This afternoon, after this story was posted, I was informed that the number in question, 800-457-8462, was accidentally dialed instead of 518-457-8462. The latter number is for the New York State Division of Criminal Justice Services. However, this new information raises questions about why Arcuri dialed his calling card, 800-255-2255, just one minute after hanging up on the phone sex hotline, as his hotel bill indicates. The campaign has still not returned my calls seeking an explanation.)
The questionable expenditures don’t stop there. Among others were a staff member’s call to a New York City strip club in 2000, applications for admission to the U.S. Supreme Court in 2000 and a gift for the president of a professional association Arcuri belonged to in 2003.
All of the requests for reimbursement were approved by the county. One form, dated Dec. 10, 2003, says Arcuri’s American Express card “is used strictly for business purposes.â€
Two calls placed to Arcuri’s campaign spokeswoman on Tuesday were not returned.
… there’s that tolerance & understanding showing up when it’s a Dem.. 518 is very close to 800, easy mistake, right. On one side of the isle it’s a pervert, on the other it’s a mistake or a misunderstanding.
i fail to see how accidently dialing the wrong number is the same as soliciting sex from underage boys.
