That's One Way To Get Your Message Out

In this week's Bronx Press Review, for which I serve as associate editor, Bronx County Democratic Chairman and Assemblyman Jose Rivera has developed a novel way of getting his message out: just pay for it.

On page 9, Rivera has taken out a full page ad blasting Governor Eliot Spitzer over his proposed cuts to Medicaid. But rather than create a snazzy new advertisement, Rivera just paid for a full-page copy of his press release to run.

See it [here]. It might be in other papers, but as of right now I don't know either way.
