Scott Stringer, a candidate for NYC Comptroller has landed himself in hot water after his prior legislative record regarding NAMBLA (the North American Man-Boy Love Association) has been publicized by opponent Eliot Spitzer.
In 1996, then NY-state assembly member Stringer voted against removing the tax-exempt status of the NAMBLA front group 'Zymurgy'.

The Spitzer campaign on Monday tried to turn the tables on Stringer, who has repeatedly bashed Spitzer for having to resign as governor because of a prostitution scandal.
“Scott Stringer has tried to make this race about judgment and the voters of New York will decide what this says about his,” Spitzer campaign spokeswoman Lis Smith said.
Two recent polls have shown Spitzer and Stringer in a dead heat, while another has shown Spitzer with a double-digit lead.
