Mr. Golisano — One Last Time — Please Reconsider Getting Involved In Politics
The Democrat and Chronicle reports today that Rochester area billionaire Tom Golisano will be supporting RICHard Dollinger and Baby Joe Mesi for the state Senate. This almost sounds like a bad joke. Supporting Dollinger, who had the Senate job and ran for judge while he had it, then quit to run for judge again (and lost a second time), then ran for Democratic Party Chair, was elected party chair and then quit to run for Brighton Town Judge, which he just quit so he could run for the Senate doesn’t make sense.
Neither does supporting Baby Joe Mesi, a guy who had difficulty being approved to box in New York because of brain bleeds. Being a successful businessman, Golisano is probably used to delegating authority to people and letting them do their job. But his political advisor, Steve Pigeon, doesn’t seem to have Golisano’s best interests at heart.
Here is my public letter to Mr. G:
So Mr. Golisano, how in the world does teaming up with the guys who are supported by the Working Families Party make any sense? These leftists are committed to maintaining the special interest’s strangle hold on our state. Why would you help elect people running on their line.
As we have mentioned before, you are a brilliant businessman — one of the best. But when it comes to politics, your record is terrible. That party you started back in the 1990’s and walked away from is an embarrassment. You’ve spent more money per vote in one of you unsuccessful campaigns than anyone in the history of our country.
Please, reconsider you actions. I’m not a billionaire — or a millionaire. If you help elect these guys and things get even more screwed up (did you catch our post on Malcolm Smith the other day?) I’m might have to join the millions who have already left our state.
Please, save your money and buy the Buffalo Bills or donate to more worthy charities, but please recognize your shortcomings and stay out of politics!
Yours Truly,
Cincie

I don’t see the issue. With Golisano’s track record of spending lots of money and losing miserably you would think RICH would be saying thanks but no thanks.
I thought you were just being nasty about Joe Mesi. It sounds like some kind of a joke. I had never heard of him and did some googling. Turns out it’s fact.
