The
following statement was submitted today by NYCLASS spokesman Michael
McKeon
NYCLASS has not heard a word
in any way, shape or form from the U.S. Attorney or the Manhattan District
Attorney regarding the reported investigation into the mayor’s fundraising
efforts. We have absolutely no reason to believe the story is true or accurate,
and it’s important to note that today’s media report doesn’t say anything
specific as it relates to the government’s alleged examination of NYCLASS. We
have seen this type of reporting before: Two years ago, media reports said the
FBI was “looking into” NYCLASS. But in the two years since that story ran, we
have heard absolutely nothing from the FBI. Zero. So NYCLASS gets dragged
through the mud publicly yet again without any reason to believe the story is
accurate.
Steve Nislick and Wendy Neu
founded NYCLASS because they care about animals. Their only agenda is the
proper treatment of abused animals in this city. It’s one they deeply believe
in, and will continue to fight for. It’s as simple as that. They have made
clear over and over again that they have no interest in anything else, and have
stated directly they have no interest in the real estate where the horse
stables are currently located. That myth has become fact in some quarters
simply because it has been reported over and over again as fact, when it is a
lie.
If ever contacted by the US
Attorney or the DA, or anyone else in government, NYCLASS intends to
answer any and all questions, and fully cooperate. But again, we have not been
contacted, and have never been contacted by the FBI, US Attorney or the DA.
