Anti-Quinn Group Sends Out St. Vincent's Campaign Ad

Good to see Quinn get hammered over this betrayal of the people in her district:

A political committee determined to block Christine Quinn’s path to City Hall will blanket 50,000 Manhattan homes with flyers blaming the council speaker for the closing of St. Vincent’s Hospital.

The group “New York City is Not for Sale,” which already funded anti-Quinn TV ads, will spend approximately $30,000 to send out a glossy mailing depicting Quinn as a magician using a wand to make the West Village hospital disappear. The hospital, which sits in Quinn’s council district, closed in 2010.

“When someone has such a powerful seat in city government and is not able to keep such a vital health care institution in her neighborhood, it speaks poorly of her,” said Arthur Cheliote of Communications Workers of America Local 1180, one of the left-leaning unions that formed the $1 million anti-Quinn coalition.
 
“They’d be getting more of the same if she’s mayor,” he said.

The glossy mailer will be sent to likely voters in the areas impacted by the hospital’s closure, including Chelsea, SoHo and Gramercy.

She helped make St. Vincent's magically disappear, and then money showed up in our magician's hat, all wrapped in a bow with the name Rudin on it.
