Calling Assemblywoman Susan John — Where Are You?
We recently had an editorial meeting here at Monroerising.com. In an effort to be fair to all parties we took an inventory of who our favorite targets have been over the past few months. We also wanted to reflect our first three months.
Without question, our best friend during our first quarter has been Assemblyman David Gantt. Gantt’s antics in the County Legislature have given us posts that have practically written themselves. Additionally, some of our highest traffic days and the stories that get the most comments are when the good Assemblyman is involved. Client Number 9, Governor Paterson’s indiscretions, Sandy Frankel, the Gannett editorial board and Rick Dollinger weren’t that far behind.
Prudence brought up an interesting point — we have yet to mention Assemblywoman Susan John in any posts. The more we talked about it the more we realized that this woman has been invisible. I haven’t seen one thing she’s done. She was quoted in a couple of budget stories, but then again so was Joe Errigo.
Has anyone (other than Albany insiders) seen her lately? Maybe that’s why she’s barely re-elected year after year in one of upstate New York’s most Democratic Districts.
