Corrupt ex-mayor of NY town running for old seat thanks to state loophole

Two crooks want to become mayor of Spring Valley in Rockland County — but only one is eligible to run, a state judge ruled Wednesday.

In an only-in-New York story, former Spring Valley Mayor Noramie Jasmin, who was ensnared in a federal corruption scandal tied to former state Senate Majority Leader Malcolm Smith, is running for her old job after serving four years in prison. Jasmin was found guilty in 2015 of mail fraud and extortion.
