“I am not surprised that Jim Keane is doing exactly what we would expect of a politician who has been around for too long.  I am surprised that he chose to launch his latest attack on a very solemn day for most Americans.”

“His latest ad is a desperate attempt from a candidate who has nothing to say about the substantial issues facing Erie County like rebuilding our economy and reforming county government.  Instead, Keane wants to hide the fact that he wants to rely on the same tired solutions to the problems that have plagued our community for decades.

“Voters should expect that from Jim Keane, who represents a political establishment that has continued to fail us for more than thirty years.  Fortunately, Jim Keane will not be able to fool voters.  His lack of ideas have been rejected by the voters many times before, and they will be again.”
