The Post Star newspaper in Glens Falls has taken time out to harshly admonish Rep. Bill Owens for the trip to Taiwan (and Israel) that was revealed through the reporting of a watchdog group unrelated to media in the NNY district.
Glens Falls is in the heart of the three county swath newly added to the district and being fiercely fought over as voters are now just forming their initial impressions of Mr. Owens and his likely GOP challenger Matt Doheny. (Green candidate Donald Hassig is on the ballot and there is a Republican primary challenger named Kellie Greene)
Only the most sycophantic Democrats are willing to accept that the lobbyist-paid for, luxury trip had something to do with creating jobs for North Country families.
Newspaper headlines and editorial quotes are often used in television ads. You can bet this one from the Post Star will be used between now and November, as the incident speaks to a core suspicion voters have about the political class.
