David Bonnachi officially in in NYS-AD-135
A few days ago, it was reported that Republican David Bonnachi would challenge Democrat David Koon in NYS Assembly District 135. Today Bonnachi made it official. Reader D has some eyewitness reporting from his press conference:
minarik introduced him to a crowd of about 20 people or so. andy meloni, mark florack, mike flanigan, mrs. bonacchi, anthony daniele stood up with him. bonacchi said that albany needs someone to fight for the district and that he has the pulse of the people. taxes are too high (especially gas and property) and local leaders from the county exec on down know how to reign them in. he has thought about his life since losing in november and he wants to serve the people again. he said dave koon is part of the problem in albany and he looks forward to debating him. he was asked if this would look like revenge and he said that he is italian and they don’t believe in revenge, but, no, it is not about revenge it is about public service. he was asked why he chose the village hall for this announcement and he said it was the only place that let him.
Italians don’t believe in revenge?
This is a grudge match, Bonnachi has no chance of winning, and don’t be surprised if this one lasts about long as Michael Corleone’s promise not to off his brother-in-law Carl.
That’s funny, I thought he was American.
maybe that was his point: ‘italians don’t believe in revenge. but i am american and we love it!’
I like that. It could be a line in Godfather IV.
