I am happy to see City Newspaper endorse Harry Bronson for the 138th Assembly District. I am tired of listening to Ms. Barnhart whine chronically about everything that is wrong in a manner that she would like to have the voters believe that she possesses a magic wand that will make everything in the world right again. Quite frankly, my mind was made up to NOT vote for Rachel Barnhart when I heard her co-hosting the Bob Lonsberry radio show one morning on my drive into work. She was commenting on how Scott Hetsko, the weatherman on Channel 8 was leaving to go to work for Channel 13. In her remarks, she stated that Hetsko was smart for making the move to the #1 station in the Rochester area, and how one has to maneuver for where the ratings are in broadcasting, and that in turn would relate to the salary one would make for such a career move. She further explained how when she first started out in broadcasting, she made 30 some thousand dollars, and that currently, a new reporter starting out now would only make a salary in the 20 something range.
Rachel Barnhart has been around the block more than a few times with more than a few local stations, and in relation to her "time" in the business, she has grown a little long in the tooth as they say, and her value - by her own definition - isn't that great in terms of salary.
So she decides to take her "watchdog" reporting skills to Albany to get paid double what she made in TV news and it's there that she will tell us all how terrible our government is and how no one is worth their weight except for herself? Is that what a government representative is? A reporter? I think we can all agree that progress is measured in performance and when researching Harry Bronson, there is not only progress, but leadership. And as my representative, I am grateful for the good he has done, and I want him to continue his work on behalf of the people he serves.
Some things just can't be said in 140 character tweet, and I think it's absurd for anyone to believe that social media will make or break campaigns. What the internet is good for is researching the facts. And to quote City Newspaper, "It's Bronson, hands down." Keep up the good work Harry. You've got my vote, and that of my husband as well.
