I boldly struck some fluff off this piece. Still, there is no criticism from anyone of Faso in the article. Is "no criticism" likely during an election? The article on Eliot Spitzer has often had such nasty crap in it("Jewboy", even!)and previously such a negative tone and this article is so positive that I think it has put Wikipedia on Faso's side of the election. (Just look at versions of the Spitzer article from previous months.) Rich 09:20, 19 July 2006 (UTC)

Rewrite of explanations about my article edits of July 21 2006: There was a server crash or something and the following explanation was erased.) I changed some verb tenses. Probably this article had an update where what had been present tense should have been changed to past tense at the time of the update. Also, I removed stuff about the 1995 budget and how great it was, which was presumably due to the work and negotiations of many people besides Faso, unless other evidence is provided, so the stuff doesn't belong in the article, at least as presented. Also I cut wordiness and tried to make the article more like a report rather than Faso's resume.Rich 08:16, 24 July 2006 (UTC)

The current (9/19/06) version of this article is odd. Shouldn't the section on the 2006 governor's race mention that he's running against Eliot Spitzer?130.86.14.88 05:14, 20 September 2006 (UTC)

If Faso really was born in 1964 as the article states, then he was only 15 years old when he graduated from law school in 1979. Either Faso is some kind of legal Doogie Howser, or his birth year is wrong. Would someone please correct this obvious erroneous information? Thank you! 172.138.20.9 21:00, 5 January 2007 (UTC)

I just changed it to 1952 from a website i found. Thanks for pointing this out--it's surprising the error was ever made, considering the early versions of the article sounded like they were written by John Faso campaign staffers.Rich 07:04, 6 January 2007 (UTC)
