This afternoon, Rodney Hubbard’s campaign for state
senate denounced a hypocritical attack sent out by allies of his
opponent, Robin Wright-Jones. The mailer, sent by the Black Women’s
Political Action Organization, attempts to link Hubbard to the Land
Assemblage Tax Credit bill passed by the state legislature this past
session.
What the mailer fails to mention is that not only Wright-Jones, but
also every other member of the Black Women’s Political Action
Organization who currently serves in the legislature voted to approve
the same tax credit[1], including the group’s treasurer, Sen. Rita
Days, whose name appears on the slam piece (watch video of Days
praising the tax credit here: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=wIKJIBmlA5s)
Moreover, the mailer conveniently overlooks that it was Rodney Hubbard
who sponsored the amendment that ensured local neighborhood
organizations and elected officials would have the final say in the
resulting development.
