Here's a side-door-funded attempt to make it look as if Maureen O'Connell opposes helping Alzheimer's patients and paralyzed children based on votes she took as a Republican Assemblywoman.
Yes, her voting record is her record, but due to its paltry numbers, the GOP conference in that house has about as much impact as a letter to Santa.
For her part, she says she favors directly funding those doing stem cell research -- but not "new state bureaucracies" in the same of such research. Anyway, here's the commercial, brought to you by a group called NY Ed-Pac.

Ms. O'Connell is being disingenuous about her stand on stem cell research. Two of the votes she took were not, as you quote her saying, about funding a bureaucracy - but rather whether or not to allow scientists in New York to do the research at all. She should not be able to misrepresent her record in that regard on your blog. For more information I am happy to send copies of the bills she voted against to anyone of your readers.
So Craig Johnson won't talk about taxes. We all know he'll vote to raise taxes.
Instead, he has to smear Maureen O'Connell's record. She is not opposede to stem cell research.
As a nurse, she pioneered stem cell research for cancer patients.
Maureen O'Connell harvested stem cells to treat cancer patients.
Craig, if you can't speak the truth, then it's time to keep quiet.
As a Roslyn resident and a lifelong Democrat, I am appalled that the Democrats would think of running Craig Johnson for State Senate.
This man has the nerve to join the law firm that helped cover up the theft of millions of dollars form our schools.
Couldn't we do better?
