Brooklyn state Sen. Kevin Parker, staff treat themselves on donors’ dimeBy Zach Williams

Nothing like a boss who shares the wealth!
Brooklyn state Sen. Kevin Parker and his staff have enjoyed luxury food, travel and jewelry with the help of thousands of dollars in donations to the 10-term incumbent — who is battling for his political life in the Aug. 23 Democratic primary.
Since last year, Parker has stuck his campaign committee with $1,814.01 in bills from the Royal Sonesta New Orleans hotel, $825 in jewelry for “staff appreciation,” as well as nearly $2,000 more for luxury wellness products and services, campaign finance records show.
“It’s so disappointing to see that at this moment, when so many people are struggling to pay their bills and keep a roof over their heads,” David Alexis, a democratic socialist challenging Parker in the primary, said in a statement.
Parker – who is also facing former Manhattan Assistant District Attorney Kaegan Mays-Williams – did not respond to multiple requests for comment Monday.
