I'M EVICTING MYSELF
RANGEL TO QUIT ONE OF HIS 4 BARGAIN APTS.
By DAPHNE RETTER, Post Correspondent
WASHINGTON - Rep. Charles Rangel said yesterday he will give up one of his four rent-stabilized apartments, for which he has paid about half of market rate for more than a decade.
*snip*
Rangel's announcement that he would move out of one of his Lenox Terrace apartments, which he was using as a campaign office, came as a Washington-area watchdog organization filed a complaint with the Federal Election Commission.

State and local regulations require tenants of the discounted apartments to use them as their primary residences.

Said Boehm, "His case doesn't look that good. It went on for more than a decade, it involved thousands and thousands of dollars, and he had every reason to know it was improper."
*snip*
Just two days prior to Rangel's announcement yesterday, the congressman indicated he was unlikely to change his current living situation, which allows him to pay cut-rate rents for four adjoining apartments on the 16th floor of Lenox Terrace on West 135th Street.
"I don't see anything unfair about it," Rangel said last week.
*snip*
FEC records show that Rangel's campaign committees have accepted $4,500 in campaign contributions from the building's owner, Sylvia Olnick, since 2004.

That old weasel is as safe from challenge as he could possibly be. There is no chance in Hell that a reform candidate will come forward from anything as crooked as the NY Democratic Party, and that's the only thing that could possibly unseat him.
