Schmitt writes a letter....

Schmitt’s August 2nd letter to Newsday is just more of the same from a politician who is willing to say anything and do anything for political expediency. Schmitt blames County Executive Suozzi for Schmitt voting against the regional planning board. Schmitt then blames Suozzi for Village Officials Association and the Town Supervisors for not getting back to the legislature. Schmitt admits he supports the legislation so Schmitt was for the legislation before he voted against it.
When Schmitt says that Newsday is “never one to let facts get in the way of partisan attacks,” it’s just laughable. Schmitt is the master of fact-free partisan attacks. During the 2003 election Schmitt claimed as “fact” that taxes were raised alternately 57%, 60% and then 58%. This year the claim is 42%. What is the real “fact?” Turns out it’s “none of the above.” Schmitt claims that crime is on the rise yet fellow republican District Attorney Dillon has had to publicly correct him stating “Mr. Schmitt did not even take the time needed to get the facts before he made a significant speech.”
And Schmitt demands Newsday do it’s “homework?” Indeed.
Schmitt has a long list of “facts” he throws out that turn out be bald-faced lies. Schmitt follows Ronald Reagan’s famous axiom “Facts are stupid things.”
