The New York Times reports Pedro Espada Jr. owes more than $60,000 to the City Campaign Finance Board, dating back to his run for Bronx borough president in 2001.

He appealed the fines in state court.

State election officials tell the paper Espada could face another $6,000 in fines for not registering his senate campaign this year.

His 2000 senate campaign was also fined for failing to submit finance reports.

This is the latest in a long line of financial trouble for Espada.

Three employees of a Bronx health care company he runs pleaded guilty in 2005 to funneling $30,000 to one of his campaigns.

Espada was never charged and said the accusations are just the nature of politics.

"Look at me, I'm here. I have been vetted and investigated by everyone because of my political positioning. That's not right, but it happened," said Espada. "And if anything came out of it, it's that I'm super clean."

Senate Democrats are meeting in Manhattan today to discuss the deal struck this week with the so-called "Gang of Three," made up of Espada, Bronx Senator Ruben Diaz Sr. and Brooklyn Senator Carl Kruger.

The agreement keeps the chamber's majority with the Democrats, but many senators are reportedly angered the dissidents won leadership positions by holding out against party leader Malcolm Smith.
