The Pension Scandal in New York State Widens With Involvement Of NYC Mayor Mike Bloomberg and NYS Assembly Speaker Sheldon Silver

Steve Rattner, former founder of Quadrangle Group LLP and very much a part of the scam, has his former supporters - Mike Bloomberg and Hilary Clinton - on the radar screen.
