Spitzer Spends Morning After Primary Win with New York Contractors and Designers
The morning after New York gubernatorial candidate Eliot Spitzer easily won the Democratic Party primary he told more than 500 design and construction professionals at a breakfast fundraiser in Manhattan that he supported debt-financed infrastructure and backed some of the city's major infrastructure and development projects.
At the fund-raising event where a coalition of nine industry associations raised more than $600,000 for Spitzer's campaign, the state Attorney General told the crowd that he would change the culture of state government. Albany has a "World War I mentality," he says. Politicians dig trenches, shoot at their opponents and "whoever has the least injuries is considered the victor."
