A trio of Democrats get the NYS Senate endorsement of the NY Times, with a metaphor for one of the incumbents (Trunzo) that neatly compares him to the comatose statue commememorating pork that he truly has been.
. Mr. Foley has managed to restore the town's good name after decades of rotten Republican rule. The incumbent, Caesar Trunzo, was elected in the Nixon era. His core argument for re-election has boiled down to his pride in being a major conduit for pork. Long ago, he became a living monument to the inertia in Albany. We endorse Brian Foley.
[Padavan's] views on women's reproductive rights and immigration are backward, even dangerous. James Gennaro, a member of City Council, offers a passionate contrast, not only on those issues but on the environment. He has been fighting to protect New York City's reservoirs. We endorse James Gennaro.
Mr. Addabbo, a member of City Council, has said that if Democrats take over, they will not force the same Draconian rules on Republicans that now exist to punish Democrats. That is a good start. We endorse Mr. Addabbo.
That, plus a call for real campaign finance reform and an independent redistricting commission... well, its an endorsement editorial to warm my goo-goo heart. Check it out. |
