Tragedy strikes Tribeca:
Citing a “crushing” economy and spiking prices for food and utilities, GOP congressional candidate Robert Straniere has shuttered his New York Hot Dog Company in Tribeca.
“The business cannot be operated in this economy,” Straniere said. “There are no bailouts for small businesses.”
But that’s not all:
There is one roadblock to a possible reopening of the eatery: Straniere is being sued by Long Island resident Fred Catapano, a founding shareholder of the company, who claims that he wasn’t given the full percentage of shares to which he was entitled.
The lawsuit, filed in Manhattan Supreme Court in August, also claims that Straniere improperly removed Catapano from leadership positions in the company.
Straniere dismissed the lawsuit as “politically motivated in an attempt to squeeze us. Look at the timing of it.”
Anyone want to guess what share of the vote Straniere takes in November?
I’ve noticed that Hillary is working her butt off to elect Democrats to the State Senate. Does she have her eye on the gvernor’s office?
…luckily for him there will soon be a Democratic congressman from NY-13 to help fix the mess.
