I went through the Blog archives and found this poorly written piece I wrote back on February 18th. State Senate redistricting had just taken place. Tim Kennedy showed up at the hearing to oppose the makeup of his new district. Kennedy, and this went unchallenged by the local news outlets, said that although he benefited from the makeup of the new district, it was his duty to oppose it for other lawmakers.
At the time, I correctly predicted that Kennedy did not benefit from the new district and the racial makeup of the new district would give Brian Higgins' portly pool boy problems. I also said that Kennedy's people knew this, and that is why he took such a "courageous" stand...
Is Aaron Besecker of the Buffalo News that naive to think a politician would show up at a hearing to speak out against something that benefits him? The politician in question is Tim Kennedy. The topic, new state Senate districts...
Kennedy, who admitted his newly drawn district does benefit him personally, called the proposal "political gerrymandering."
We now know why Kennedy showed up to fight the new boundaries. Unlike the news outlets who covered the hearing, one of us knew it back in February. The lesson? Kennedy's a coward and would never stand up for anything, unless it benefited him personally. Go back and read the original story here...

thanks for the link. I can't believe anyone around here would vote for a Steve Pigeon backed candidate. Right there, it's a red flag that the candidate is corrupt.
