I am a registered democrat; I vote in all of my party’s primaries. I generally vote along party lines in most general elections. I would say that I am over 90% loyal to my party line. I am not voting for Alan Hevesi this year. In last night’s gubernatorial debate Eliot Spitzer was wrong not to call for Hevesi’s resignation as New York State Comptroller. With Hevesi admitting to having taken a public employee and using him as a personal chauffeur (among other tasks) for his wife; and doing this for years, on public time and with public dimes, has rendered Hevesi unfit to hold this office. John Faso was correct in calling for his resignation. Hevesi has abused the public trust.

Republican gubernatorial candidates William Weld and John Faso appealed to the New York Building Congress this morning, voicing their visions for state growth and development.

While Weld wants weightier environmental wellness regulations, Faso fancies fighting fees from liability insurance to fuel building sector growth. Faso said that the Empire state is No. 1 in out-migration and No. 50 in business tax planning, stating that all citizens stand to gain from a financial re-vamp.

Both contenders touted the need for improved transit a top priority – especially development of entry points (such as the Tappan Zee bridge) and upstate infrastructure, as well as the maintenance and advancement of the Metro-Transit-Authority and its assets.

Conservative Party Chairman Michael Long announced today that his Party will preempt the Republican Party by holding its state convention to choose its Senate and Gubernatorial nominees on May 23rd in the Big Apple, one week before the May 31st GOP Convention begins on Long Island.

While Long and Minarik agree on backing John Spencer for US Senate, they disagree on the Governorship. Long has long favored John Faso while Minarik is backing Bill Weld.
