TODAY'S CAMPAIGN ROUND-UP.... Today's installment of campaign-related news. Democratic Candidate Susan Savage pickets with nurses demanding a fair contract. SRCC Chair shows desperation, set to appear with Carl Paladino. Sen. Craig Johnson gets support of Mayor Michael Bloomberg.
- Democratic Candidate Susan Savage stands with nurses in demanding fair contract – Savage, running against 34-year Republican incumbent Hugh Farley, walked a picket line with nurses in her district who are seeking a new contract. The nurses are asking for, and have so far been denied, a combination of fair wages, health care benefits, and nursing ratios.
- SRCC chair Tom Libous teaming up with Carl Paladino – Libous, chair of the SRCC, will appear at a Tea Party event tomorrow with multi-millionaire turncoat Carl Paladino. Libous and Senate Republicans must be desperate to court Paladino, who is still petitioning to get the GOP gubernatorial nomination (despite having been rejected by the party at their nominating convention) and is using his cash to create his own political party in an apparent attempt to siphon support away from the GOP.
- Sen. Craig Johnson gets support of Mayor Michael Bloomberg – Mayor Bloomberg is lending his name to a fundraiser next Monday to support Sen. Johnson. Mayor Bloomberg had pledged to help legislators who lead on issues of great importance to him. Charter schools are such an issue for the Mayor, and Sen. Johnson has been a fierce proponent of charter schools at the state level.
