Pre-Emptive Strike

Last week, Democratic gubernatorial frontrunner Eliot Spitzer was attacked by Republican John Faso for making no public comments on the proposed state budget.

Now, Democratic rival Tom Suozzi is going after Spitzer for what the attorney general is not saying about property taxes. According to a press release from the Suozzi camp:

Two weeks ago, while in Rochester to deliver his first major economic development speech, Eliot Spitzer devoted only one sentence to property taxes.

The Suozzi release was put out a day ahead of a planned Spitzer speech in Syracuse on economic development.

Adds Team Suozzi:

In both his speech announcing his candidacy last month and his State of Nassau County address last week, Suozzi placed a strong emphasis on the need for property tax relief. In his State of the County Address, Suozzi pledged to be "a Governor of this State that knows how real the property tax problem is and as Governor I will make the changes necessary to solve the problem."

With all the creative input from his rivals on what to say in his public remarks, Spitzer may not need to pay a speech writing staff during the campaign.
