Endorsements

Tomorrow is primary day in NY. Here are my endorsements:

For US Congress Paul ClarkHe has a solid record in West Seneca and he is running on his own. He has held real jobs in his life, and so he know what it is like. His biggest opponent Brian Higgins, is better than many in the Assembly, and he at least had the guts to stand up to Silver, but show us you can get results at the state level before you go for the promotion.

Fran Cartonia over Louise Slaughter - Slaughter has done everything she can to stifle this token opposition.

NY State Senate

Although there is no favorite here, Byron Brown over challenger Al Coppola, although Al scores points for a flashier web site. Both of these men have held this office to no result. I go with Brown strictly because of seniority, although it looks like he will bail next year and run for Mayor anyway.

NY State Assembly

146th Tom Casey over Hoak, Schroeder and Sullivan.
Casey has keyed in on the right issue - Schools. The others are just mouthpieces hoping to inherit the next promotion.

144 Golombekover Sam Hoyt. Golombek is a bright light among dim bulbs on the council, and Sam has watched as jobs and employers have left NY in large numbers.

Whoever you vote for, VOTE.
