WDT: Addie Not Raising Much But Doesn't Have To

     Assemblywoman Addie Russell doesn't have much in her campaign coffers.....but then again she doesn't need it as she is unopposed in her bid for reelection.
     The $10K in her "war chest" is not even enough to run a campaign for mayor of Watertown, but her biggest protection is not cash but that there really are not many people who aspire to the office.
      In fact I can't think of anyone with the blind ambition, money and time on their hands to spend a year going to parades, doors and fundraisers in the long shot hope of unseating someone who seems to be doing a decent enough job.
      The same could be said of Assemblyman B-bush, who is also running unopposed.

Shame on you 6:07! Don't underestimate how much she has done by voting in lock step with the downstate democrats. People in her county love freeStuff. they even love their free Cameras on the power poles watching their every move. They love the traffic stops on RT 11 and they love their unions and all the closed industry.

But she doesn't get all the credit. she could not of passed all the terrible spending and laws if it were not for her friend Patty Plate and her other friend Dede. Tug Hill? SUNY presidents? Its all good...

How much does Addie earn by emptying the ashtrays in Shelly's office? Can't be much.
