State Senator Jeff Smith, whose sponsorship is needed for Derio Gambaro to be confirmed in January, issued the following statement today: Labels: Appointments, Governor, Schools, State_Senate
"Derio Gambaro was a worthy opponent in our race for the 4th District Senate seat and a dedicated public servant during his tenure in the state House.
"However, given the specificity with which I outlined my substantive concerns about the Governor's earlier nominee, I am disappointed that the administration chose to ignore rather than address the issues I raised. It is unfortunate as well that the administration refused my repeated offers for consultation on this appointment, particularly since I worked throughout the session in a bipartisan fashion on education issues.
"Since it is important that the city be represented on the State board, I will look forward to learning more about Mr. Gambaro's educational philosophy and qualifications."

Fuck You Skewgee. Jeff Smith is more emblematic of the Hill in the 20's...Mafia all the way. For you to pretend this is anything more than sour grapes makes you a stooge.
Smith will NEVER win the 3rd if he ever runs. Never. That's because Democrats don't care about fucking each other over. Carnahan did the same to his opponent in the state house. Democrats have no courage, no respect and no loyalty. They deserve everything they have coming.
