Whoops! Washington Republicans are inadvertently highlighting Albany Insider John Faso’s record as a true champion of tax increases.
Here’s the reality: During his decades-long tenure in Albany, Faso cast more than 130 votes to either increase taxes or extend tax increases.
Even Faso’s primary opponent, Andrew Heaney, made issue of this during the primary election earlier this year.
“If I were John Faso, I’d tell Washington Republicans to stop highlighting my record of raising and sustaining tax increases while in Albany,” said Bryan Lesswing at the DCCC. “Then again, Faso should probably tell his conservative friends to stop bringing up his career as an Albany insider as a general rule.”
