Will Chuck Schumer endorse his former staffer David Yassky for Comptroller?  “We’ll see.”  That’s not what Yassky wants to hear.

Good commentary from Deroy Murdock on the CD-23 race:  “… this could become a referendum on the state party, which careened left under former Gov. George E.

If Mr. Hoffman bests Ms. Scozzafava on the Conservative line, he would expose the state Republican Party as an even emptier shell than it is today …”

The agenda for the upcoming special session in Albany still hasn’t been nailed down yet.  I suspect it will just be budget matters.

Upcoming fundraisers this month in Columbia and Greene counties.  Plus our sporting clays shoot at Wallkill on the 26th.
