Battle of Saratoga: Democrats fire peashooter at GOP candidate

The Democrats have lanuched their first attack at the Republican candidate in NY 20. Evidently Assemblyman Jim Tedisco charged the state for fueling his official state car.

The total of this extravagance: $21,000 over eight years. About $50/week.  

Now, I might think this was a somewhat relevant issue, except that the House Speaker  sought the use of an airplane for official transportation which costs each hour as much as Tedisco billed the state over eight years. 

Maybe the Democrats ought to drop this line of attack while they're behind.
