Another legislator faces negative fallout for his SAFE vote:
“Erie County Legislator Kevin R. Hardwick said Monday he is weighing a Republican primary challenge to State Sen. Mark J. Grisanti, a move that raises major questions about the incumbent’s ability to gain the local GOP endorsement for re-election this year. Hardwick … said Grisanti’s “terrible vote” on Gov. Andrew M. Cuomo’s gun control law could render him vulnerable in a primary already being threatened by fellow Republican Kevin T. Stocker of Kenmore … He also raised the possibility that Grisanti’s vote in favor of Cuomo’s SAFE Act poses a major obstacle to local Republicans even granting their endorsement this year …”
Probably should have thought about this before voting. This is what happens when you ram bills though without time for public comment.
“… Erie County Republican Chairman Nicholas A. Langworthy said Monday he met with Grisanti last week and was assured the senator will not pursue the Democratic line. But Langworthy said Grisanti continues to be criticized for his SAFE Act vote, as recently as at a party roundtable meeting in Kenmore on Saturday. “The SAFE Act is something that will not go away, and something the base of the party is still worked up about,” he said. “So am I.” …”
Talk is cheap. Back this up by denying the party nomination to Grisanti.
“… Meanwhile, Erie County Conservative Chairman Ralph C. Lorigo said Monday he harbors serious reservations about a Hardwick candidacy because his departure from the County Legislature could jeopardize the one-vote majority coalition there led by the GOP. Still, Conservative backing for Grisanti remains unlikely because of his vote in favor of the SAFE Act …”
Then you should have no problem if someone else decides to seek the ECCP line. Are you planning on calling for candidates? If not, nobody then cares about what you think.
“… Grisanti did not return a phone call seeking comment …”
Why would he? What would he say, that he screwed up and people are pissed?
Vote him out.
Vote him out!!!!
Great it’s all coming around to bite them in the ass.
First smart thing Grisanti has done is not issue a comment…..guess he didn’t want a raw ass chewing for voting in favor of New Nazi’s Unsafe Act
I thought I was getting a “tele-town hall” call from Grisanti tonight. I guess not. Let ’em burn!!!
Bye Bye Grisanti, you two faced lying RINO
GOOD RIDDANCE…..
2014 is our year. This is the year to route out the RINOs and SAFE Act supporters. No Deborah Torres Henning I didn’t forget the Common Core supporters too.
I can’t wait to see the fall out this November for all the scum bags that voted for this. I will be posting signs near out voting center to remind people who voted for it.
