Sen. George Maziarz once sent out an e-mail about rising gas prices. In that e-mail he said the following.
In Western New York, unlike Manhattan, most of us depend on our cars and trucks to get to work, school, the store, and just about everywhere else. And on top of the tax increase, the Governor also wants to raise the fees you and I pay on our auto insurance policies by 300%!
But for Maziarz, Manhattan is where the dough is.
The Times-Union has the story.
Sen. George Maziarz, R-Newfane (that's way west) has a fundraiser coming up May 5 at the Penn Club in New York City for his Senate campaign, which might put to rest any lingering rumors that he might run for Congress.
...
The matter of New York City contributions was an issue in the 48th Senate District special election, but the fact seems to be that the bigger checks and deeper pockets are there, for both parties.
You can view the invitation here.
This should not be surprising. I have no problem with politicians and where they get their money. However, when you use the whole downstate thing against the Democrats, you look like a hypocrite when you go downstate for cash. |
