Bruno finds fault with partisan push by governor in campaign to fill open seat in State Senate
Gov. Eliot Spitzer's plan to endorse Nassau Legis. Craig Johnson today in the Democrat's bid to replace state Sen. Michael Balboni is fomenting hostility between Spitzer and Republican Senate Majority Leader Joseph Bruno.

Gov. Eliot Spitzer will formally endorse Nassau County Legislator Craig Johnson, the Democratic candidate in the 7th SD special election, tomorrow at 11:15 a.m. in North Hempstead.
...
Also on hand will be Spitzer's former Democratic gubernatorial opponent, Nassau County Executive Tom Suozzi, and Assemblyman Tom DiNapoli, a former LG candidate, current state comptroller candidate and someone who not a few Dems had hoped would run for this seat, which was vacated by former Republican state Sen. Mike Balboni. |
