NY-27: Updates from Dan Humiston’s Campaign
by Matt at Aug 17th, 2008
Last week was another busy week for Dan Humiston.
Back on Tuesday, Dan Humiston called on Congress to get back to work and solve the energy crisis. “Americans can’t afford to wait until the middle of September for Congress to address the energy crisis,” Humiston said. “With gasoline over $4.00 a gallon, many Western New Yorkers are cancelling their summer vacations. We need Congress to make the same sacrifice.”
Humiston also met with Republican leaders in Chautauqua County last week to discuss local issues. On Monday, Humiston held a dinner at Vullo’s Restaurant in Jamestown (good restaurant, I recommend the veal and eggplant parmesan) and was also attended by leaders from the Jamestown Executive Committee, as well as Senator Cathy Young, 57th Senate District and County Executive Gregory Edwards.
On Thursday he was in Fredonia at the White Inn (another good restaurant) where the mayor of Fredonia, Michael Sullivan, was among those in attendance. Sullivan had words of praise for Humiston. “Not a lot of people know that Dan is a Chautauqua County businessman.” Sullivan said, “he owns two stores here. He has chosen to invest in this community by employing staff and paying property taxes. Moreover, I really appreciate his call for Congress to end their recess and go back to work and take action on achieving a comprehensive energy plan.”
Congressman Brian Higgins, whose seat Humiston is running for, joined his fellow Democrats in abandoning the American people by going on vacation without doing anything about the energy crisis.
As usual, this GOP hack is wrong on just about everything he writes. His list of restaurants is even incomplete. No one should go to Fredonia without going to The Brick Room, right in the heart of the village (it’s next door to Coughlan’s, for those familiar with the area). Best Italian in North County, to be sure.
Behold a desperate liberal who can only criticize a candidate he doesn’t like and will never like over a restaurant choice.
I love the Brick Room, it’s got great food, but it’s noisy and small.
The White Inn was certainly a better choice to accommodate a meeting of local leaders.
And, I have to say, if you’re in for Italian, I’d go to Rocco’s.
Rocco’s is outstanding, that’s true.
But that doesn’t make the author of this blog any less of a GOP hack; nor will it make his candidate any more likely a winner.
Glad we can agree on one thing. Rocco’s. But do consider the Brick Room again — it’s become the only upscale joint in town.
Sounds like Andy has stock in the “Brick Room”
Stock? Not a wild assumption, but no. It’s just a great place to eat. I know my way around a knife and fork.
