With the 2012 election season well under way, Albany County voters will find the choices for three replacements for our retiring state assemblymen as vital as the one for president.
Ron Canestrari, Jack McEneny and Bob Reilly, working as a team, were integral to any benefits bestowed on Albany County through the years. With their combined years of experience, they had the know-how to get things done.
After this election, three rookies, each trying to find a place in the Assembly, will have a hard job, establishing their offices and staffs, establishing themselves with their constituency, etc.
This will be a crucial time.
The cities and towns in these three districts are going to feel the brunt of inexperience when it comes time to see the bacon brought home for Albany County.
