Governor Paterson’s Shortlist
by Matt at Nov 25th, 2008
According to Illuzzi’s sources:
Sources say, “Governor Paterson has a short list of three names on his replace Hil list. The only upstater on the list is Buffalo Mayor Byron Brown.”
Byron makes a lot of sense; he is a prominent, very popular Democratic Mayor of an upstate City, the 2nd largest City in NYS. He is from New York City. Byron would be the only Black in the U.S. Senate.
I think Byron would be a horrible choice. You don’t want to put a corrupt, incompetent Mayor of a dying city. Byron Brown shouldn’t be Mayor anymore, but that doesn’t mean he should be a U.S. Senator.
Joe Illuzzi is a scam artist and criminal. Citing his “sources”, (i.e. Steve Pigeon who pays him to float rumors and do dirty work) is a bad idea. The only short list that Byron Brown is on is the short list of the most corrupt and inept mayors in America.
“Very Popular”? My ass…
