Emilio Agustin Vazquez for the 179th Legislative District

Emilio Agustin Vazquez is looking to secure the Democratic Nomination for Bill Rieger's 174th Legislative District Seat. Mr. Vazquez, an employee of the Philadelphia Parking Authority who ran unsuccessfully for the Democrat Nomination in 2004, brings years of community involvement to the table in this District. He has worked tirelessly for the people in his community which has been under represented by Rieger for a long time. Too many times has Mr. Rieger been criticized for not adequately representing his District. The following are a few examples:
Ghost voting in the House of Representatives. Mr. Rieger would jam a wad of paper into his voting mechanism so that his vote would be recorded on days he was not in the State Capital. He did still collect his per diem for food and housing. Google "Rieger" and "Ghost Voting"
Living outside his District. Mr. Rieger has been living outside his District for quite some time although he still owns a property which he claims as his residence. Google "Bill Rieger" and "outside" and "district"
Absenteeism. Mr. Rieger has been absent a ridiculous amount of time from Harrisburg both in his capacity as a rank and file voter in the General Assembly to his committee post. Google "Bill Rieger" and "Absent"
Lack of a real District office. Would use the basement of one his legislative aides to serve as the District office as she collected rent for the like. Google "Bill Rieger" and "district office" and "basement".

***The above represents numerous violations, among others, of Bill Rieger's misrepresentation of his Legislative District. It is time for a change.
