In case you missed it…Day Two starts right now
Welcome to the Day Two edition.
Well, anything happening last week besides Spitzer? As a matter of fact, yes. I’ll go back a couple of weeks and highlight stories on RT that were lost as the sun set on Day One and rose on Day Two
Federal
We discovered that Grievous Angel can type as fast as they listen with coverage of both Massa press conferences March 5 and March 12. Massa makes Red to Blue. Meanwhile Randy Kuhl announces he is running and we ask is that the only platform you have? He also votes against Mental Health and has a great golf game.
Meanwhile Driscoll won’t run in NY-25th. Jack Davis comments reminds again that gobs of money does not equal political intelligence. Remember when he was putting words in various committee Chairman’s mouth’s? He was wrong then and is wrong now.
Meanwhile our federal government continues to waste our tax dollars while the NRCC is wasting contributions.
State
Bloomberg hearts the State GOP. We look at the impact of the special election in SD-48.
We take out the Bruno/Robach’s talking points over who actually looks out for upstate. Speaking of Bruno, how many lives does the guy who will perform the duties of Lieutenant Governor actually have anyway?
We discuss NYS foreclosures. Is New York State in a recession and will it affect the State Budget? Well, apparently so.
Speaking of State Budget woes- Joe Robach, ever the opportunist, sends out a mailer.
County
Monroe County GOP Legislators plagiarize and call ideas their own. Monroe County Legislature Public defender meetings violates the open meeting law while an olive branch is extended and, in one, case refused.
The D&C editorial board falls back in line with Maggie Brooks as they give Maggie all kinds of credit while conveniently forgetting that the Public STILL doesn’t have access to RenSquare information.
Maggie gets smacked on her ability to financially manage county finances because she made the wrong choices.
Gay Marriage? We have Maggies’ Political Theatre. MPN op-ed piece, a rally for equal taxation. Ladkiddo has a great wrap-up of speakers at a County Leg meeting
We ask if COMIDA can be on the case in terms of verifying that Jobs are created.
Finally Grievous Angel asks the question about zero tolerance. sounds good but a peek behind the scenes prompts some questions.
Towns
Dateline Greece: Mall Curfew - 18 year olds need not apply but if you apply your auditing skills you win an award for auditing. Speaking of auditing Ray Diraddo ex-GOP County legislator gets pulled into court about the Greece Assessment scandal.
Gates raises fees to cover fiscal issues.
Chemical residue? Yep in Brighton.
Tossing recyclables into the trash. We tell you that just because you use the word lilac you stink.
Other
We interview and tell you whatever happened to Brother Wease? Exile and friends have a blogversation not once but twice but three times. btp pipes in on are bloggers journalists?
CMCE? That would be Clean Money Clean Elections and btp was all over it. Supporting labor @ Crown Plaza Ladkiddo reports.
Finally - Can’t leave without a mention of Spitzer- here is NPR’s Wait Wait Don’t Tell Me (a regular staple for me Sunday mornings) take on Spitzer. If the Spitzer episode has you down - have a listen.
