City Councilman David Weprin, a Democrat, is getting some unusual help in his campaign for city comptroller.
The first name listed as a host of his November 29 fund-raiser is Adam Barsky, the former Deputy Secretary for Republican Governor George Pataki.
Barsky later became the Director of the New York City Office of Management and Budget under Rudy Giuliani, and the mayor’s Chief Financial Officer.
Which should make for some interesting conversation around the hors d’oeuvres table about the fiscal prudence of the previous Republican administrations.
Here’s the email:
Adam Barsky, David Borowich, Alan Cutter, Alon Harnoy, Ari Mentzel, Adam Rudich, Zoya Raynes, Jason Sheller, Sharon Tzur, and Bram Weber
At a cocktail reception with
New York City Council Finance Chair
Councilman David Weprin
Thursday, November 29, 2007
6:00 – 8:00 PM
Law offices of Kramer Levin
1177 Avenue of the Americas
(between 46th and 47th streets)
New York, NY
UPDATE:
Weprin confirmed that he is in fact a friend of Barsky from their days at SUNY-Albany (where I graduated from years later). But a source close to Barsky said that even though he will be supporting Weprin for comptroller, his name was accidentally added to this event and that Barsky won’t be attending it. That’s because Barsky is hosting a fund-raiser for his old boss, Rudy Giuliani, the same night.
The invite for that Barsky event, is below.
