Halloran bizarrely carries on

Someone needs to remind City Councilman Dan Halloran that it’s no longer business as usual.

Halloran’s office issued a delusional press release yesterday about capital spending — without mentioning that he’s lost his legislative powers after being charged with taking a bribe in a sensational federal corruption case that also ensnared state Sen. Malcolm Smith (D-Queens) and two Republican Party leaders.

“I thank my hard-working staff and all the constituents who put so much time and effort into this process over the past several months,” Halloran (pictured) is quoted saying in the release.

“We learned a great deal. I especially congratulate the winners and encourage even more participation next year in every district.”

Halloran was one of several council members who asked constituents to vote on capital projects that deserve city funding. Halloran produced a list of seven worth more than $4 million, including — ironically enough — police cameras.

Council Speaker Christine Quinn announced last week that she and the Queens council delegation were assuming control of Halloran’s funds, so he’s out of the picture.

“He doesn’t have any fund-making decisions,” said Jamie McShane, Quinn’s spokesman. “He was stripped.”

The constituent recommendations are “nonbinding,” McShane noted.
