19 March 2004, Anthony S. Seminerio, a Democrat. Fat and bald. Born 15 February 1935. He was a correctional officer, then an officer of a C.O. union, then a politician. He resigned from the state assembly. Former assemblyman Seminerio and his wife, born Catherine McCormick, have three children: John, attorney Anna (judicial candidate nominated by Democaratic and Republican parties), and Mabel. They live in the South Ozone Park neighborhood of Queens. His name occasionally is misspelled.

He may have owed in about 1985 to RICHMOND HILL SAVINGS BK regarding QUEENS block 11477, lot 3, 109-56 111 STREET.
As far as we know, it seems reasonable to suppose that people contributed money to FoS (Friends of Seminerio) fund-raising committee because the contributors wanted to help Seimerio, who is a Democrat, get elected and re-elected. Was it ethical and legal for the committee to pay the money to a Republican's (Dennis Gallagher's) fund-raising committee? FoS does not have unlimited discretion in how it disburses money. Has FoS filed a written statement, with a government agency, of FoS's purpose? Does the stated purpose include helping to elect Queens Republicans?
The two candidates involved in the contribution (one candidate for state assembly, one for city council) have districts which overlap much. The Democrat whose committee paid the money, and the Republican whose committee got the money, both won.

In the November 2003 general election for civil court judge, district 3, in Queens county, Anna Seminerio-Culley (219-46 93 Avenue, Queens NY 11428) seems to have been nominated by both the Republican and Democratic parties (which is called "cross-endorsement"). As far as we know, in almost all cases (but not necessarily Anna's), a money bribe is paid for cross-endorsement (although rarely the bribe is paid in other ways; for example, according to a possibly accurate report, a female lawyer [who happened to be a daughter of a taxi-driver] withdrawing as a candidate in a primary election in Queens exchange for a promise by Democratic chairman Manton of a judgeship in a low-level trial-court in Queens, as well as we can remember what we read). Is cross-endorsement probable cause to arrest the endorsed, judicial candidate and the Democratic and Republican chairmen of the organizations which cross-endorsed? Check with an expert if you're curious.
In the November 2003 general election for civil court judge, district 3 in Queens, "Anna Seminerio-Culley" (219-46 93 Avenue, Queens NY 11428) seems to have been nominated by both the Republican and Democratic parties. Her name then and now may have been Anna Culley, as far as we know. As far as we know: to trick voters into voting for her, she used a campaign name confusingly similat to that of another Queens poltiician, Anthony Seminerio. As far as we know, it is illegal to run for office except under one's true name. Did Culley run for office under her true name? If these issues are important to the reader, we urge the reader to personally find out what her name then was. There is an article about her "... name and reputation...".
Suppose someone in Queens wants to sue the Democratic Party. Should a judge in that court case be someone who bought his judgehsip from the Democratic Party? Should someone be listed on the ballot as a judicial candidate of a political party if he bought the nomination rather than got it in the manner required by law? We tink that, if someone bought a nomination, an opponent or voter should be able to get a court order excluding the buyer's name from the ballot. We don't know what the applicable burder of persuasion is. Maybe it's preponderance or clear and convincing evidence. We guess that cross-endorsement is proof (beyond a reasonable doubt) of the person's having feloniously acquired an endorsement. We guess that being a non-federal judge in New York City is clear and convincing evidence of the person's having feloniously become a judge. Confer with an expert if you're curious about these subjects.
For each election in some places in New York State, a list is prepared of all of the croos-endorsements that will be done there. The list is on a piece of paper. Both parties agree to the list. The list is brought to appropriate meetings (for example, a judicial nominating convention) so that those at the meeting will know whom to vote. We know of a meeting at which the list was read out loud to the people there so that they would know for whom to vote. This loud reading seemed to be a common practice at the time.
On this page, we do not discuss how people become federal judges.
In any court case, not necessarily one brought agaisnt a political party, may a litigant demand a judge's recusal for cause on the ground that the judge bought his judgeship (if the buying is shown shown by his having been cross-endorsed)? According to judicial ethics, a judge is forbideen to do an anything which would bring the judiciary into disrepute. In our opinion, which is not necessarily right, cross-endorsement, campaigning as a cross-endorsed candidate, being on the ballot as a cross-endorsed candidate, and being elected as a cross-endorsed candidate bring the judiciary into disrepute. The practice reeks. If someone feloniously acquires a judgehsip (by paying a bribe or fixing an election, for example), does he bring the judiciary into disrepute every time he walks into his courthouse and every time he presides over a hearing? Do judicial ethics require that he recuse from every case? In many courthouses, a presiding judge assigns judges to cases (or, if one looks at it differently, assigns cases to judges). Does it violate judicial ethics to assign a case to a judge who bought his judeship or who seems to have bought it? If the presiding judge bought his judeship, is he barred by judicial ethics from working as a presiding judge? Check with an expert to find the answers to these and related questions. These questions do not necessarily mean that Anna violated judicial ethics or did anything improper.
In general (not necessarily in Anna's case), it is important to ask what political contributions were made (for example, at fund-raising dinners), by a judge-to-be or someone contributing on his behalf, in the twenty-four months before endorsement or appointment.
We discuss many issues on this page. Those issues do not necessarily pertain to Anna, her afther Anthony, or anyone else named in this website.
18 March 2004, MORRIS, MARY. Queens NY. employer DEMOCRATIC ASSEMBLYMAN SEMINERO [sic, possibly meant Anthony S. Seminerio], 68-28 MYRTLE AVE, GLENDALE NY. Occupation CLERK. Political campaign contribution to Republican Dennis Galllagher, 2002, $10 check. The employee of a Democratic politician gave money to a Republican politician. On this webpage, there is a link to an article by Castro about a few, other cross-party payments (a payment by one party's politician to another party's politician). Seminerio is not the only politician in New York City who is linked to payments of money to politicians of a different party.
It is one thing for a major party's politician to cooperate with politicians of another, major party. For example, a major party's legislator may cooperate with legislators of a different, major party, compromising on a bill to get enough support for it so that it gets enacted. It's a different thing for a major party's politician to contribute money to the campaign fund of a different, major party's politician.
Cross-party payments can be more than financial help to the receiving politician. Sometimes, a New York City political party wants to endorse another party's candidate but would be embarassed to explicitly do so. When cross-party payments come from politicians closely aligned with their party's leader, those payments often are an implied endorsement by that party of the candidate receiving the payments. The implied endorsement says, to members of the endorsing party, that they should not obstruct the endorsed candidate's campaign. In conclusion, cross-party payments always are financial help and sometimes are an implied endorsement by the contributors' party.
It is difficult to imagine a Republican-Democratic cross-endorsed, judicial candidate losing an election. After all, he's both the Republican and the Democratic candidate. Normally, those endorsements are much too valuable to give away although it is supposedly a crime to sell them. Democrat Anna was cross-endorsed in a county in which her father is a Democratic member of the state legislature. It is possible that there was no payment for her cross-endorsement. We do not know many facts of her cross-endorsement. For example, we do not know if there was a payment or felony in exchange for her cross-endorsement. Why did both the Republican and Democratic Parties nominate her? We do not know.
Jury Trials
Juries are how democracy comes into the courtroom. In some courts, the jury stands when the judge enters the courtroom. In some courts, the judge stands when the jury enters. There is a shortage of judges who can expertly preside over jury trials. This causes problems such as delay, mistakes by judges during jury trials (which can lead to injustice and appeals), and judicial acts intended to improperly avoid jury trials. A high proportion of successful appeals arises out of mistakes by judges during jury trials. A trial lawyer is a lawyer who specializes in representing clients in trials. After Anna had been on the bench for a while, did Queens's trial lawyers, when speaking off the record, praise her for how well she presides over jury trials? Some trials (for example, divorce trials) don't have a jury. They are called "trials by court". After Anna had been on the bench for a while, did Queens's trial lawyers, when speaking off the record, praise her for how well she presides over court (in other words, non-jury) trials? Regardless of the work she does, do Queens's trial lawyers, when speaking off the record, praise her? We don't know.
There may not be a remedy for extensive sale of judgeships.
One approach might be crime-fighting. For example, one might appoint a permanent, special prosecutor for those who buy and sell judgeships.
Once, New York City had PR (proportional reprsentation) for electing people to its city council. There were a variety of effects. For example, there was a big reduction in corruption although we don't know if the reduction inlcuded a reduction in the sale of judgeships.
Before every judicial election, the news media (newspapers, magazines, news websites) could list all judicial candidates, provide information (corruption-oriented information and other relevant information) about each one, and recommend voting for or against each judicial candidate. The information and recommendations could be provided for candidates who want to become judges and for candidates who want to remain judges. Reporters and columnists provide information about, evaluations of, and sometimes endorsements of many things: politicians (for example: candidates for mayor, governor, state attorney general, and local board of education), technology (for example: stem cell research and therapy, America's space program, and various computer operating systems), government programs and policies (for example: America's military strategy in Iraq, the Federaql Reserve's responses to the subprime crisis, social promotion of students, affirmative action), restaurants, movies, etiquette, pet care, and gardening. It is strking that, in a country in which courts are powerful, most news media provide little or no advice in judicial elections.
Not every disease has a cure. We don't know if there is a remedy for the widespread sale of judgeships.

He is executive director of the MTA (Metropolitan Transportattion Authority), a state agency which, among other things, operates the subway system in New York city. He was a New York city Transportation Commissioner. He worked for many years as a high-ranking executive in several, New York state agencies; for example, he was a state Rent Commissioner. In 2004, Sander became a member of the New York State Advisory Panel on Transportation for 2025.

It came to pass that Harris Schectman, then the MTA's vice president for bridges and tunnels (B&T), feloniously tried to get his daughter's boyfriend (Donald Raimondi) a great job (paying $53,000 annually) for which he was unqualified. Judy Puchalski (MTA manager of budget and administration) refused to hire him. An MTA flunkie took Raimondi's application out of a wastebasket. The NY state inspector-general's office rightly called for disciplinary measures against Schectman and his cronies. Disciplinary measures were imposed: Pulchaski (the sole heroine in this story) was denied a raise that almost everyone else on her level received. Ryder was promoted to facilities manager at MTA's Rockaway bridges. Raimondi now (in April 2000, when this article originally was written) works for the MTA Broadway headquarters (in expensive, privately owned offices at number 2 Broadway?) in Manhattan (where he eventually got an even nicer job than the one Schectman originally tried to get him). Schectman got a slap on the wrist: he lost some comp time.
Donald Raimondi may have become a budget and research analyst of MTA B&T (Bridges and Tunnels).
Harris Schectman may have become director of transit planning, Sam Schwartz, LLC, which may possibly be SSC: The Sam Schwartz Company, 611 Broadway, Suite 415, New York, NY 10012, US. Schectman's possible connection to the Sam Schwartz business does not mean that the business did anything wrong. Schectman may possibly have had one of the following addresses.
