Aubertine Wins Support From Golisano’s Political Group
State Senator Darrel Aubertine has picked up the support of the most prominent citizen clamoring for change in Albany. Rochester billionaire Tom Golisano, once a third-party candidate for Governor, announced that his new independent political group will spend some of its $5 million budget to back Aubertine’s bid for a first full term.
The vote was 4-3 Monday night. “Our goal is always to attempt a zero percent increase. However, with the rising costs of fuel and utilities, that goal simply was not achievable for 2009,” the mayor said. “The good thing is nobody lost their job.”
