Long-anticipated election law complaints against Buffalo political
operative G. Steven Pigeon and two others are expected to be lodged
Wednesday in State Supreme Court.
Three sources familiar with the situation say Pigeon and two
long-time associates ‑ Kristy L. Mazurek and David B. Pfaff ‑ will face
felony complaints of election law violations. Another source indicated
State Supreme Court Justice Donald F. Cerio Jr., a Madison County jurist
assigned to the case, has reserved a local court room for proceedings
at 11 a.m.
Attorney General Eric T. Schneiderman’s office would not comment
Tuesday. But it is anticipated that the charges involve the state’s
investigation of two and half years into the 2013 local and county
elections and a Pigeon-connected political committee called the WNY
Progressive Caucus.
One source familiar with the charges say they will revolve around the
County Legislature candidacies of Richard A. Zydel and Wes Moore, as
well as the Amherst supervisor candidacy of Council Member Mark A.
Manna.
