The Albany Project: AD-64 (Yes, Shelly's): Meet Paul Newell

... 

Here's a message to us from Paul, who is an active member of the Albany Project community, introducing himself.

I'm running for State Assembly to change the way Albany works.  For over 30 years, Sheldon Silver has failed.  He has failed Lower Manhattan and he has failed New York.  For too long, Albany's priorities have been set by the developers and special interests supporting the status quo.  It is this culture of failure in Albany that has kept our community from accessing the affordable housing, quality schools and livable streets we deserve.

New York has a tremendous opportunity for change in 2008.  We are on the verge of ending the 3-men-in-a-room system once and for all.  Lower Manhattanites can play a key role in this transformation.  By rejecting Sheldon Silver and voting for a new generation of leadership, we can restore accountable government not only to our district, but to 19 million New Yorkers.

Drop by Paul's site and say hi. He's good people.
