The Sun Shines on Faso
September 25th, 2006
The Sun gets an early start on election endorsement season this morning, coming out with a front-page paean to Republican gubernatorial candidate John Faso.
It all comes down to dollars and sense. Faso agrees with the Sun that high taxes are hurting the state, the editorial says, and “understands that government spending drives tax increases, an insight that seems to have eluded Mr. Spitzer thus far.” The writes also laud him for standing up to unions, refusing to give city schools more money under the Campaign for Fiscal Equity case, and calling for more electricity generation.
What Albany must have, the paper concludes, “is staying power on fundamental principles of limited government, free markets, and economic growth. In Mr. Faso we see the kind of Republican who has maintained over many years… a fidelity to exactly the combination of these principles that New York needs.”
