Breaking: Spitzer: "Get back to work"
The NYSDC launched an effort today to gently prod Joe Bruno's caucus back to work. Cool thing: the campaign is being run exclusively online and spread out to newspaper web sites, blogs and other sites across the state. The ads will point to a site where readers can see a presentation by the governor laying out the unfinished agenda the voters sent him to Albany to enact.
The fun part: the Dems are naming names. Some of the ads are personalized for individual markets, calling out Senators Alesi and Robach in Rochester, DeFrancisco in Syracuse, plus all the Long Island Senators.
And Joe Bruno in Albany himself.
“We wanted to let New Yorkers know that Joe Bruno’s GOP Senate left early last week and left the people’s business unfinished. They were so excited to get to the golf course, or to the La-z-boy that they couldn’t manage to finish their jobs,†said State Dem Co-Chair David Pollak.
Chairwoman June O’Neil added, “It’s disgraceful that when they could find the time to vote themselves a pay raise, Senators like Kemp Hannon, John DeFrancisco and Jim Alesi couldn’t vote yes on vital pieces of legislation – including an important power plant siting bill and publicly agreed-to Wicks Law reform. These bills are key components of Governor Spitzer’s plan to revitalize our upstate communities.â€
Wait, did we say ad? Here's an example, after the jump:
