Monticello, New York, Democratic Mayor Gordon Jenkins�a member
of Michael Bloomberg�s Mayors Against Illegal Guns�was arrested
Thursday on bribery charges, the latest in a long string of
legal and ethical foibles by Jenkins.

Mayors Against Illegal Guns is one of several Bloomberg-backed
entities dedicated to limiting gun rights. Bloomberg has pledged
to spend $50 million this year to build a �grassroots� network
of activists supporting his cause, according to the New York
Times. Jenkins is one of many members of Mayors Against Illegal
Guns to partake in illegal activity.

Jenkins and Monticello Building Inspector James Snowden were
arrested late last week, according the Daily Freeman. The
charges included �bribe receiving� and �endangering the public
health�; the mayor �was also charged with intimidating a
witness, a felony, in connection with an incident in Fallsburg.�

This is not the first time the embattled mayor has gotten in
trouble with the law since joining Bloomberg�s group. CBS New
York reported in 2013 that he had been arrested for driving
while intoxicated. Jenkins has come under fire in his hometown
and was described as �not competent� by Monticello Village
Manager Raymond Nargizian.

�These people are a serious part of the problem; they are not
part of the solution,� Nargizian said of Jenkins and another
Monticello official in comments given to the Mid Hudson News on
Saturday. He also said Jenkins should step down.
