Calling the senator’s mailers wasteful and hypocritical, Sen. Ball’s challenger calls for mailer reform.
Glossy mailers featuring Sen. Greg Ball with his dog should not be paid for by taxpayer dollars, said Sen. Ball’s District 40 challenger Justin Wagner today during a press conference at his Peekskill headquarters. Wagner also released a YouTube video featuring Ball’s former opponent, Steve Katz, that attacks Ball for his spending on mailers promoting Ball’s work to repeal the MTA payroll tax. According to Wagner, who is a Croton resident and Democratic Party candidate, Ball has spent more money on mailers than any other Hudson Valley Senator and is the third highest spender on mailers in the State Senate. “In the period from April until September 2011, Senator Ball spent $108,903 of taxpayer funds on bulk postage mailers,” Wagner said. “…

The Wall Street Journal turns its eye to democratic congressional candidate and "Times Square Hero" Duane Jackson, one of four running for District 19 Rep. Nan Hayworth’s seat.
Duane Jackson saw something and said something, and now he’s seeking to do it again on a grander scale. According to The Wall Street Journal, Jackson was working as a Times Square street vendor when he alerted police to an attempted car bombing in 2010. Jackson’s moment of heroism inspired him to get involved in politics. Jackson, 59, is seeking the Democratic nomination to challenge Republican Nan Hayworth. A Navy veteran, Jackson said he has 15 years of experience in city planning and housing, including posts with New York City's education and housing departments. His last position "wasn't a good fit," he said, and his involvement in veterans' affairs led him into vending, which he sees as "small-business experience." He said he'll keep …

Frank's totally on the mark here. Harry Reid is to Putnam County what a fish is to a bicycle. Ball must continue the anti-immigration agenda that got him elected (cause he's done so much to stop it!) for the sake of mankind. God Bless only us. more ›
