Alan Hevesi to Return Home Today: Report

Former comptroller granted parole in November after serving time for pension fund scandal.

Former New York Comptroller and Forest Hills politician Alan Hevesi will return home Wednesday after spending 20 months in prison, the New York Daily News reported.

News of Hevesi's parole broke in November, after serving less than half of a possible four-year sentence for a pension fund scandal.

According to the Daily News report, Hevesi will live with his son, Assemblyman Andrew Hevesi, at his home in Forest Hills. 

After his father was granted parole last month, the younger Hevesi said in a statement that he was relieved the family patriarch was returning home. 

"My dad has owned and taken responsibility for his actions, he has been extensively punished for them, and now he and my entire family are closing the book on this part of our lives," Andrew Hevesi said.

The local, fresh fruit and vegetable market was a worthwhile addition to Douglaston. Obviously, itRead More did not receive the support of the community, at least not enough to make it a successful venture. This is sad. Every Sunday, rain or shine, I would stop at the market and purchase something. My favorite was the bakery stand. Often, when I stopped in the afternoon I would get two FREE French breads with my purchase. Parking was never a problem. The vendors where friendly and very informative. It was a perfect setting for the picturesque nature of this community. Too bad it is not returning.

Unfortunately, according to the Douglas Manor Association, the fresh fruit and vegetable market willRead More NOT return this year. No specific reason was given other than this was at the initiative of the merchants or the market's organizers. And this..., just as we were beginning to enjoy the Long Island wines and the $34 per pound skirt steak, ordered two months in advance.
