Will Trunzo debate Foley? Survey says NO!

Brian Foley is the town supervisor in brookhaven He is the guy who is running against Caesar Trunzo. He has challenged Trunzo to five debates before the election in November.

Supervisor Brian Foley challenged 36-year incumbent Senator Caesar Trunzo to a series of 5 Town Hall debates across Islip and Brookhaven. The debates will each focus on an issue facing working families of the district.
"After 36 years in the State Senate, people are waiting for solutions from Caesar Trunzo and they're not going to get answers from his 30-second ads which tell us that 'you don't fix what's not broken," said Supervisor Foley. "I believe Albany is broken and I want to have a debate on how we're going to fix it."

Supervisor Foley proposed 5 town hall debates in Patchogue, West Sayville, Holbrook, Mastic Beach, and Central Islip:

Patchogue: Education, Wednesday, September 24th 6-8pm

West Sayville: Property Tax Reform, October 8th 6-8pm

Holbrook: Healthcare, October 15th 6-8pm

Mastic Beach: Environment, October 22th 6-8pm

Central Islip: Economic Development, October 30th 6-8pm

"Throughout my career in public service, I have always debated my opponents, because our community deserves the opportunity to hear from us in person and to ask questions of us," Foley said. "Throughout his 36 year career, Senator Trunzo has been reluctant to debate his opponents. Unlike many of those opponents, I will have the resources to share my message with the public, but I believe we owe them more than 30-second TV ads and soundbites."

Foley added, "For the voters of this district, the choice is clear: they can vote for more of the same tired policies that have failed them for 36 years, or they can choose the change that we need, here at home and in Albany."


None of these debates will happen. Caesar barely knows where he is these days. He won't be debating anyone.

He can't.

Caesar's ne TV ad doesn't have Trunzo in it

This is weird, or it isn't if you think about it. TAP has Caesar Trunzo's new TV ad but there's something missing from it. There's no Caesar Trunzo in it. Here it is.



And what's with the people in that ad? First they are all saying how bad things are and then one of them says "you don't fix what's not broken."

This ad is broken. It's got no Trunzo in it.

Where does Caesar Trunzo actually live?

It's been common knowledge for years around here that Caesar Trunzo doesn't actually live here on LI. He lives in Florida. They just ship him up here when they need him to vote on stuff. The Daily Gotham Blog does some digging:



Caesar Trunzo (R-FL)

The Google, it is a miraculous thing, letting you find many things you night otherwise have not found.

For example, if you Google Caesar Trunzo, New York, you get this result:



That's his campaign headquarters or district office, if I'm not mistaken. The presence of the web link next to the address bar indicates the latter.

But if you Google Caesar Trunzo, Florida, you get something else entirely.



So apparently, there are two Caesar Trunzos who maintain residences in Florida, or one Caesar Trunzo who maintains two, while the New York Caesar Trunzo only has a campaign or government office.

That's rather odd, considering that the New York Caesar Trunzo represents a Senate district here.


Caesar doesn't live here. he lives in Florida. (which to be honest is probably nice for a guy his age.) It would be great if some of our real reporters would figure out exactly where Trunzo actually lives.
