Tired of those Bill de Blasio flyers littering your front entrance? Fellow Park Sloper and Village Voice columnist Wayne Barrett is, too. In the runoff race against Mark Green, de Blasio may be "standing tall," but, Barrett reports, he's "aiming low" with misleading attacks on Green.
Writes Barrett, "'Mark Green Will Do Anything To Get Back in Office,' de Blasio booms in all caps, proving that 'Bill De Blasio Will Do Anything To Get Into Citywide Office For the First Time.'" Where else -- besides Al D'Amato's wife and a few unions -- is he getting money for those shiny flyers and the big signs on primary day? Did Barrett overlook a few pharmaceutical companies and foster care agencies in his search for shady sources of funds? Watch this space as we stick our noses into some campaign finance reports and give you the rest of the story.
Barrett wrote such an informative article, we link to it here. Please note our suggestion on the blog that Voice readers check out our Web site, too. They might want a follow-up on who is financing de Blasio's campaign for Public Advocate.
