POLITICS: Fowl justice for corrupt DOE chicken crook shows NYC’s safe for fraud

Accountability for crooked public servants in the Big Apple continues to be nothing to crow about. 

Witness the light sentence given to former Department of Education big Eric Goldstein, who conspired with Texas meat supplier Somma Foods to get defective chicken into NYC public schools.

Goldstein was no mere functionary, but a major decision maker.  


Eric Goldstein, a former executive at the Department of Education, was sentenced to two years behind bars in Brooklyn federal court. AP

He served as chief executive officer for school support services, responsible for feeding and busing the hundreds of thousands of kids in the public system. 

And what did he use his vast power to do?

To ensure that the chicken from Somma  — which leaked thick red liquid and contained wire and plastic fragments — got put on the menu. 

Heck, a bone in an allegedly boneless tender almost choked a food service manager.

All Somma products were yanked off school menus in 2017, after being served up since 2015: nearly two years of danger to tykes, rife with repeated complaints.  

Truly fowl, and overseen (natch) by mega-incompetent then-Mayor Bill de Blasio. 

Goldstein’s take from the corruption scheme was reportedly in the millions; he helped Somma defraud the city (and its taxpayers) for even more.

His punishment?

Two years in the coop.

What the cluck?

Goldstein had the audacity to crow about his own family’s suffering in an effort to sway Judge Denny Chin. 

Chin, bizarrely, called Goldstein and his co-defendants (who also got light sentences) “fundamentally good.”

No: Trusted public servants who use their position to push tainted goods on kids in exchange for bribes are fundamentally evil, not good. 

And the fact that Goldstein robbed and stole with shady contracts and backroom deals rather than a gun and a ski mask doesn’t change the fact he’s a lowdown thief. 

So this man’s goose deserves to be fully cooked. Lock him up and throw away the key.
