He is a corporatist Dem and that is why he has the money from the pay to play crowd. Follow the money. Look what they did to us on health care in DC.The reassessment battle is a perfect example. Anyone can read the legal filings in this epic fight for fairness for working families. Onorato has kicked the can down the road and not taken the tough decision because he does not want to offend the wealthy homeowners who bankroll his campaign. How does he defend imposing higher taxes on the homeowners in poorer communities where property values have declined while freezing values in places where they have skyrocketed? That is true corporatist Democracy in action. The workers have paid higher taxes than they should for years while he has delayed action and the most exclusive neighborhoods have gotten off the hook.
