McCall says Callaghan “not qualified”

October
31

A rare press release from Comptroller Alan Hevesi’s campaign just popped up in my in-box, and it bears statements of support for the embattled incumbent from former Comptroller H. Carl McCall and New York City Comptroller William C. Thompson, Jr.

Said McCall: “I’ve been Comptroller; I know what the job takes. Chris Callaghan
does not have what it takes. I know Comptroller Hevesi can do the job because he has already done the job. And his opponent, Chris Callaghan is not qualified. There’s simply no choice. I’m voting for Alan Hevesi.”

Said Thompson: “As City Comptroller, I understand the importance of the office of
State Comptroller. Chris Callaghan is simply not up to the job. He’s not qualified to manage New York’s $140 billion pension fund. Comptroller Hevesi’s record as both New York City Comptroller and State Comptroller is something to be proud of. I am voting for Alan Hevesi.”
