A top aide to Gov. Spitzer used his official e-mail to distribute an attack on Republican Senate Majority Leader Joseph Bruno to "interested New Yorkers" including local officials across the state, The Post learned yesterday.Shocking, isn't it?
The action by Marty Mack, a longtime Democratic activist and Spitzer's deputy for intergovernmental affairs, brought a new round of charges that Spitzer was again using the government in an effort to defeat his political opponents.
Mack sent the e-mail Sunday from his official Executive Chamber account, attaching a copy of an anti-Bruno newspaper editorial and saying, "I thought the editorial below might be of interest to you."
The editorial was from the Albany Times Union, a newspaper Spitzer's aides used last summer in the Dirty Tricks Scandal.
Monroe County (Rochester) Clerk Cheryl Dinolfo told The Post she was shocked when she received the e-mail.
"I don't think it's appropriate for a high-ranking member of the governor's staff to use his government e-mails to make a political statement against a political official," said Dinolfo, a Republican.
Of course, nothing will come of this.
They're Democrats, after all.
