Feld’s New Ad

October
7

Republican Senate candidate Liz Feld, mayor of Larchmont, launched a new ad today contending that students in the district of her opponent, Democratic Sen. Suzi Oppenheimer, get less state education aid than children in any state in America — even though Westchester pays the highest property taxes in the nation.

The ad is airing on public cable stations in Westchester.

Feld’s campaign is one of the most closely watched in New York, as Republicans increasingly think she can upset the long-time incumbent Oppenheimer.

Here’s the script:

“Westchester families pay the highest property taxes in America.
But our kids get less state aid for education than anywhere else in the country.
Less than anywhere.
That’s why we pay such high taxes.
Suzi Oppenheimer actually voted AGAINST more school aid for Westchester.
Giving it to Long Island instead.
Twenty-five years in office and our kids get the lowest school aid in the nation.
That’s not sticking up for US.
We need Liz Feld. The energy to fight for Westchester.”

    Liz Feld has all the money she wants from her sugar daddies in Albany to run garbage like this. In fact, in the last 3 years, Westchester has seen $64 million INCREASE in state aid.

    Just like Senate Republicans to make a bold-faced lie. And your blog is a pretty transparent tool of Albany Republicans/Conservatives to smear a very respected, effective Senator Oppenheimer.

    All you money in the world won’t help this loser Liz- she’s a pathological liar. Even her own constituents are working to see she doesn’t get elected.

    See how she destroyed the Larchmont volunteer fire dept. http://feldfiasco.org/
