You have to be at least 100ft away from the polling place to legally campaign.

Anyone campaigning inside that distance should be asked to move.

This is an official statement on behalf of the Guy Catrillo Campaign for Downtown Council.

The Campaign of Current Councilman Steven Fulop is expressing outrage over the internet about our campaign. No surprises here. We know it is an attempt to spin the voters' attention away from Fulop's ad campaign which doesn't always accurately reflect his record as Ward E Councilman. His ad campaign says the Councilman is commited to 'Open, Honest, Government' and that he is against 'pay to play.' However, his record doesn't support these claims -- He has campaign contributions from numerous developers, votes for abatements he promised not to approve and statements he has made which are misleading.

Guy Catrillo is running against the incumbent. The incumbent touts his record of 'accomplishments.' It is Guy Catrillo's duty to challenge any 'claims' made by the councilman which may be inaccurate and could mislead the voters. Our interest is in the Truth, and getting it out to you.

The Fulop Campaign supporters are saying that our last ad in the Hudson Reporter is 'negative.' Well, here's what it says. It says that Councilman Fulop has alienated himself from every one of his council colleagues. That may negatively impact Fulop, but it is not a negative ad. It is the truth, a truth that even Fulop readily admits.

As a friend and supporter of Guy Catrillo, you know we are not engaged in a negative campaign. We have kept to that decision. Our campaign is committed to presenting the Truth about the current councilman?s record ? a record which he should be willing to defend and support.
We have found lots and lots of Fulop's claims which do not support his record. We know voters will find this interesting.

We recommend the Fulop campaign engage in an honest factcheck of its literature. To get them started, here is a real look at the Councilman?s record.
