Why is UFT President Leading Attacks on Eliot Spitzer? [View all]

Interesting... and curious. From Perdido St. blog:

>>>Why Is Michael Mulgrew Leading The Attacks Against Eliot Spitzer?
UFT President Michael Mulgrew seems to have a personal vendetta against former governor Eliot Spitzer.

When Spitzer announced his candidacy for New York City comptroller late Sunday night, Mulgrew immediately sprung into action to try and destroy Spitzer's fledgling campaign.

First, Mulgrew told the NY Times that he had put "all options" on the table to deal with Spitzer and he was considering using the UFT's campaign funds to run TV ads against him.

Today the NY Post reports that Spitzer, desperate to get the necessary signatures to get on the ballot by Thursday, reached out to one of the few firms that does petitioning work and got a preliminary agreement from them to join his campaign, but Mulgrew pulled strings with the firm (Red Horse Strategies) and got them to leave Spitzer in the lurch.>>
