In 2005, a Las Vegas casino that was seeking an expansion into New York got fined $ 25,000 because the casino charged Silver $ 109 a night for a luxury suite that normally
went for $ 1,500 a night — an obvious violation of the law limiting gifts to state officials to $ 75 or less... Perhaps the most monstrous of Silver's
uncharged offenses involves his coddling of sexual predators in the state capital.»
