Rockland County, NY - Legislature Candidate Fails To List 1995 Loan
Rockland County, NY - Legislature candidate Bruce Levine, who's also the Spring Valley village attorney, failed to carry over an 11-year-old debt into his most recent campaign finance report, due last week.
Levine, a Democrat and former Legislature chairman, is looking to unseat incumbent Alden Wolfe, D-Suffern, in the 6th District, which includes all of Hillburn and parts of Montebello, Monsey, Suffern and Chestnut Ridge.
Levine reported a balance of $2,996.33, but did not list a $23,000 outstanding loan that dates to his 1995 Family Court judge race. The debt was listed in a January report.
The loan, he said, was from his wife's uncle and while the state law allows an exemption for family members, he didn't know that uncles were excluded. Levine said he called the state for advice with the loan, but never got what he considered to be a straight answer.
Levine said he will not be using money from the loan for his Legislature race.
