He uses his campaign account to pay for his car, gas, tolls, food, etc. How can someone have their campaign cover 100% of the cost of a car if it is their only vehicle? How can a campaign cover personal use? Why is this being allowed?

That approach has identified a number of dirty cops who were on the payroll of one government agency and another (governmental or private concern). Should not be hard to compare those two records and identify fraud if their is any. Another way to determine if an attorney is cheating is to compare their "work products'" related to their legal billings to determine if they actually did any legal work. Rumor in Albany is that Flanagan recently amended his financial filings--NY Times article does not mention that--can anyone confirm if Flanagan had amended his financial disclosures recently?
