Spitzer, Taxes and Reactions

Yesterday, New York gubernatorial frontrunner Eliot Spitzer unveiled his plan for property tax relief.

Today, Republican nominee for governor, John Faso, came out and criticized it in a news release, saying, "His plan includes tax increases disguised as tax cuts and contains several inconsistencies that reflect the ramblings of a candidate who does not have a solid grasp on state finances."

But the quote of the day - nay, the quote of the campaign so far - goes to Spitzer's Democratic rival, Tom Suozzi. Suozzi's office just sent out this statement:

"If this plan were a Wall Street firm, Eliot Spitzer would have indicted it for fraud."

This is case and point the difficult road Spitzer has until September: running against two candidates who are attacking each of his flanks.
