Eric, I agree completely, but that's what you get with a political hack like Jeff Perlee in charge. Besides the backroom deals that led to the NYTHA endorsement, Empire's "negative" campaigning on the franchise issue is no different than the what these guys do it on the political front. And they wonder why people are turned off to their schtick?
