| Libertarian Party of NY -- Press Release -- Corruption Fighter Seeks Comptroller Nomination |
FOR IMMEDIATE RELEASE
Corruption Fighter Seeks Comptroller Nomination
Albany, NY 4/23/06: John Cain served on the Clarkstown Planning Board in Rockland County. When offered a bribe, Cain wore a wire for Federal investigators in a case that sent former Rockland Democratic Chair Paul Adler to jail. Now the 54-year old insurance broker and instructor from Congers is seeking the Libertarian Party of New York’s nomination for State Comptroller at the party’s convention to be held April 29th in Albany. John Cain was awarded the John W. Perry Heroism Award at the 2002 Rochester convention by ex-State Chair Richard Cooper. Cain’s candidacy was suggested by Cooper.
What would Cain do if elected? "I would question not just the numbers but the ideas behind the state and local government taxes, spending and borrowing. In particular, I would question the slippery numbers and assumptions put forth for eminent domain abuse schemes. If elected, my primary goal would be to work with an elected Libertarian governor to prevent the state from expending any funds to use the power of eminent domain to take the property of its citizens and turn it over to private enterprise groups. Never underestimate the web of intrigue that a bloated government has created."
Cain has been on a political odyssey since his days as high school science teacher. He was a longtime Democratic committeeman and was a Democratic candidate for Rockland County Legislature in 1985. Now he is enrolled in the Independence Party until the Libertarian Party obtains permanent party status by winning 50,000 votes for Governor this year. Cain serves as the Chairman of the Rockland County Worker’s Compensation Self-insurance Committee, which manages the self-insurance program covering the county employees. –30-
