[...] Commenter Mikey78 mentioned this as a possibility a few months back. I don’t know much about the demographics of the district, but at first blush this sounds like some kind of ill-fated attempt at revenge: the man who defeated Bonnachi in the 2007 mayoral race in East Rochester is David Koon’s son, Jason. Koon won reelection with over 60% of the vote in 2006 and incumbents almost never lose general elections in the New York State Assembly. [...]

If I had time between blogging, parenting, and, oh yeah, working, I’d be all over it. (I’m sure you can dig that, army42!) In the meantime, all you patriotic readers, a few minutes finding good links on google will allow you to do what army’s asking for.

I was at the Fairport Walgreens meeting. It was standing room only… about several hundred attended. There was a singularity of position in the crowd that was impressive to be a part of. The D&C community blogger did a really nice of summarizing, so I’ll just link it.

Continuing with news of the day…today I happened to catch Joe Spector’s D&C blog on the local races and their campaign funds. Some people seem to think that EX-mayor Bonnachi is going to try and run for Koon’s Assembly seat. (seems to be floating around ER)

Does this guy just not GET it!?! He had his butt handed to him by one Koon and now he wants to get embarrassed again! I don’t care how much money they say Assemblyman Koon has in his campaign account…David Koon can run with $1.00 in his account and STILL beat Bonnachi

I would like to see a counterpoint to “phantomlord’s” arguments in that link you posted about the rich getting richer and the poor getting poorer.

Thanks for the round up, nice work.
