Mr. Boyland Goes To CityVille

Laura Nahmias files an entertaining dispatch from the virtual world of a troubled pol:

[NY Assemblyman William] Boyland sponsored zero bills and missed one-third of the Assembly’s sessions—ranking dead last in the chamber on both measures—for his $79,500 state salary. But he was busy—on Facebook. … His [CityVille] logs reveal that on the nights before sessions he skipped, he frequently stayed up taking care of William’s Town or uploading links to music videos between midnight and 6 a.m. When news broke of the indictment [on corruption and bribery charges] on March 11, he stayed away from the Assembly for weeks. But late on March 20, Boyland clicked the Facebook button to “like” the New York State Assembly.
