John Tabacco Announces His Candidacy

The leadership and practices of the state Independence Party has come under fire recently from several local politicians. One of them is the CEO of Locate Stock Dot Com, John Tabacco. Mr. Tabacco ran as an independent in the race for Staten Island's North Shore Council Seat last year.

The New York Post claims Tabacco received support from the Independence Party only after he shelled out a 10,000.00 business loan to the wife of the chairman of the Party. Tabacco says believes there is corruption in the Independence Party. Tabacco also stopped by to make an exclusive announcement that he will run against Michael McMahon for Vito Fossella's former U-S Congress seat. Tabacco insists when he shelled out cash for the business loan, the Independence backed him. But when he refused to renew the loan, the Independence Party refused to back him as a Congressional Candidate. Tabacco says the loan was paid back in full at 12% interest.
