| Kennedy Was Spared Financial Disclosure as a Top Aide in City Schools |
| 2009-01-04 |
| Like it or not, roughly 7,000 employees of New York City file 32-page disclosure forms each year divulging personal information about their family finances in an effort to bolster confidence in open government. But when Caroline Kennedy was employed by the city Department of Education from 2002 to 2004, as the chief executive of the Office of Strategic Partnerships, she was not required to file, even though two people who worked for her had to disclose information about their finances. City officials have offered a variety of explanations over the last few weeks why Ms. Kennedy did not have to meet this filing requirement despite her title and the responsibilities she has cited in her efforts to convince the public that she has the experience to take Hillary Rodham Clinton's seat in the Senate. |

| #6 Ahhh, but they missed New York City Law Number 102.6.4.A.f.: "Kennedys earning $1 per year shall, you know, be exempt from the disclosure requirements." |

| #1 Dang it, she is NOT "Ms. Kennedy". She is Mrs. Schollsberg. Her maiden name was Kennedy. |
