According to Resnek, the monies didn’t go to him personally, but to the company, which allowed him to pay his business expenses. Resnek claimed that being paid by Philbin through his Chelsea Press LLC saved the newspaper 15% or so in taxes that would have to be taken out of his salary. “So, the monies don’t go to you personally,” asked Atty. Jeffrey Robbins, representing DeMaria. “They get deposited into an LLC which does not identify you as the owner but you own?” “Yes,” stated Resnek. The questioning returned back to Resnek’s relationship with City Clerk Sergio Cornelio, which, according to Resnek, began in 2017 when he started working for Philbin and the Leader Herald. Robbins asked him if he was aware of Cornelio’s mental and emotional state, if he knew he suff ered from depression and anxiety, and that he had a two-month-old child.
