On the ground

I love Albany………….

I love flying into the Albany Airport coming up the Hudson and seeing the skyline with the Egg, the Plaza and the Capitol……….well, maybe not the Capitol.

Yes folks, this morning we made national news. NPR reported that the New York State Senate has disintegrated into a playground. The Republicans are claiming the majority after a questionable power grabbing ploy. The Democrats are going to court. Meanwhile, we have many important issues on the table to finish up the session.

Governor Paterson was quoted as saying “This is humilating, even by New York State standards”
New York State Government is NOT a joke, it’s not a circus, although there was someone at the Capitol yesterday dressed as a clown. We need to work very hard to elect Democrats who will adhere to the highest standards of ethics and responsibility!

Please call or email Senator Bonacic and express your outrage! Tell him to stop being part of his conference’s power-grabbing games and get some work done!

Our candidate for the 20th Congressional District, Scott Murphy, will be touring the Davenport Garden Center this Wednesday the 18th @ 1:45pm. This is open to the public and we invite you to attend. Scott will be hosted by Supervisor Dennis Valente, and we hope to have many other elected representatives from the surrounding towns present as well. Press is being invited and expected to cover this event. Please spread the word!

SCOTT MURPHY officially opened his Delaware County Campaign Headquarters on 98 Main Street, Delhi on Wednesday, February 25. The well attended event was covered by several area newspapers and was a big success! Scott gave a presentation, fielded questions from the group and spoke one on one to area constituents. In case you missed it…
