Senator Alphose D'Amato you are condemned to the terrace of the gluttonous. Although you are one of the senators for the state of New York and in times have done much for the citizens of the city you have, however, been very gluttonous in terms of money, wanting too much where it is not warranted or needed to fit your needs. You were caught trying to misappropriate HUD funds -- meant for building and maintaining low-income housing -- to build a swimming pool in your home town of Island Park, on Long Island, a wealthy area. You also has been reported on many occasions to have demanded campaign contributions from companies that wanted to do business with or in the state. This was one of the issues of his '92 re-election campaign. You have also pumped $137,000 to the judicial race in the Capital Region to support the National Republican Senatorial Committee, has The New York Times reported. Also an additional $50,000 was transferred by the State Republican. For gluttony in matters that concern money you are condemned to the terrace of the gluttonous. | Back to Dante's Purgatory |
