A source in Brooklyn spotted Democratic state senate candidate Simcha Felder's campaign workers collecting signatures to allow him to run on a new party line this November. The party will be called "Tax Cuts Now."
Felder, a former City Councilman and current aide to City Comptroller John Liu, is running for a newly created state senate seat in a heavily Orthodox Jewish part of central and southern Brooklyn, against Republican state senator David Storobin, who won a special election in the spring.
UPDATE: Murray, Felder's campaign manager confirmed the plan and emailed this insightful tidbit: "Yes we are collection signatures for Tax Cuts Now. This line will give voters a chance to send a message that they want Tax Cuts Now." More
